Description

The heart-pumping true story of one family's terrifying battle for survival after disaster strikes on the high seas. It was a case of now or never for Jean and John when they decided to give their four young children a taste of adventure on the high seas. Their bold decision to leave behind their everyday lives to sail across the world on a catamaran tested them all in ways they could never have imagined. Their voyage of discovery ended suddenly and tragically almost two years later on a remote atoll in French Polynesia. On a calm and moonless night, without warning their beloved floating home Emerald Jane suddenly crashed on to a jagged coral reef. Within minutes, the seemingly indestructible twin-hulled yacht was being smashed to pieces. But just as it seemed that they had mastered every challenge, their world was shattered in a split second of unimaginable horror. Now the real test began, forcing them to fight for their lives.
