The survival story of a woman who ventured to sea for a "dream break" on a small boat, only to find herself shipwrecked. The odds were very much against her, but she survived.
Janet Culver placed a personal ad for a fishing companion and slowly fell in love with the man who replied. But her dreams were shattered when tragedy struck and they were shipwrecked. The horrors of being stranded for days in a small dinghy are reconstructed in this BBC documentary film, which includes an interview with Janet Culver herself.
Atlantic observes the mental and physical pressures of two people whose boat sank whilst sailing in the Atlantic. This training material is directly applicable to anyone going to sea, and as emergency preparation for anyone flying over the sea. It also has resonance for people who may be stranded in remote areas of land, or for people who may need to survive in areas where the human population is hostile to them.
