Bill and Simone Butler left Miami one summer weekend on their annual sailing holiday in their boat, Siboney. They wanted to sail round the Caribbean Sea for two weeks. During their holiday, they saw a large group of whales. Bill and Simone were very excited. Unfortunately, while they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat. Suddenly, water started flooding in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They quickly jumped into the lifeboat while the boat was sinking and watched it disappear under the sea. Fortunately, they had enough food and water for twenty days. They also had a fishing line and a machine which made salt water into drinking water. These two things helped them to survive during their terrible experience. For the next fifty days, they caught about ten fish a day and ate them raw. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted while they were passing, nobody saw them. After many other days, a fishing boat rescued them. The disastrous holiday was over.
