I wonder if they saved their boat, left it adrift or sank it? I believe I would have been too worried about the sharks.

What did they eat for 5 months? It takes a bunch of food for 2 people and 2 dogs for 5 months. They looked to be in great overall shape. They don't have the appearance of lost at sea for 5 months.

And a fresh water generator. I didn’t hear that it had failed as posted earlier. It’s impossible to survive 5 months without water so I have to believe it was still working. Incredible story of survival regardless. Pays to be as prepared as possible.

Solar power would have been good to have. Maybe a sat phone.

Sounds fishy, bet they ran out of toilet paper and socks

Why would they be worried about a shark attacking their boat. It’s not like there in an inflatable raft.

Interesting to hear that they survived for 5 months, but were glad to be rescued because she thought they were going to die in the next 24hrs....

wow No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury! it was a freaking sailboat no way to make a make shift sail? very fishy to me..

I don't think it was 5 months, It's kind of a fishy story.

The shark attack was pretty funny, I think they’ve been watching too much “Sharknado”.

I wonder what kind of sailing experience they previously had.
