Abandoned

Four men set sail on a grand adventure, to cross the Pacific on the yacht Rose Noelle. However the yacht capsizes in a storm and fills with water, trapping the crew in a space the size of a double bed. Personality conflicts threaten their survival but after a record breaking 119 days adrift in the wintery pacific the Rose Noelle washes ashore on New Zealand's Great Barrier island. The men have survived storms, fear, thirst and starvation. Their story makes headlines around the world but their survival is so miraculous that many commentators cast doubt on their story and they face open hostility from the media and authorities.
