Back    Next 

In the water, Mark and Rob cling to their dry bags that bobbed up when the catamaran capsized. After what seemed like hours of chaos, they are washed up, exhausted and shivering, onto a sandy beach. It is dark and they huddle inside their sleeping bags and doze.

Waking up the next day, they discover that they are about 12 miles from the mainland, trapped on a searing hot sandy beach by shear cliffs on one side and shark infested waters on the other.
