My father was friends with the author Bill Butler and this is most definitely a true story. It is horrible for readers who do not know the author to speculate about the authenticity of the story. And to further show there ignorance by criticizing Mr. Butlers decisions about killing "endangered' sea life to survive. In a situation such as this I truly believe anyone would do the same thing. I know I would and I am an animal lover in every sense of the word. This is a fantastic story about the human spirit and the will to survive. Like some of the other readers who posted comments about the book I too read it in a matter of hours. I could not put it down. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

...sea survivals books i have ever read!! On my first read-through (i re-read about once a year), i think i finished the entire book in 3-4 hours. The detail & narrative style make you feel like you are actually taking part in Bill & Simonne's daily survival & heart stopping situations. The boats, sharks & dolphin dangers are riveting; even the part about the drug boat. the finale is wonderful, the spirituality very uplifting. William Davis's comments are laughable: yes, Simmonne is annoying...but as a person who has spent time at sea on a sailboat, i know this is all non-fiction. Mr. Davis would soon follow suit with regard to the sea turtles, sharks & sea birds if in a similar scenario.

I heard Bill Butler speak at a school about his adventure and decided to order his book. I read the book in about 3 hours without putting it down. It was great!
