The yacht capsized, Richard was swept overboard, and Tami was knocked unconscious with a traumatic brain injury. When she awoke, she was alone on a severely damaged boat with no engine, no masts, and minimal supplies-1,500 miles from the nearest land. This documentary chronicles her extraordinary 41-day journey across the Pacific, revealing how she constructed a makeshift sail, taught herself celestial navigation, and battled dehydration, starvation, and the psychological trauma of her devastating loss. Her successful navigation to Hawaii stands as one of the most remarkable feats of solo survival and seamanship in maritime history. Featuring maritime experts, medical specialists, and immersive reenactments, this incredible true story (later adapted into the film "Adrift") offers an unforgettable testament to human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
