I was working in Nottingham in the early 70βs and I had the privilege of meeting Dougal Robertson when he was signing books in the Victoria Centre. We spent some time talking and I will never forget what an enjoyable and interesting experience it was. He signed a book for me, and another for my brother, who is no longer alive. I wish all of you the very best! |

Have read both books by the Robertson family, half way through Douglasβs at the moment. Their books sit on the same shelf as Joshua Slocumβs, Francis Chichester, and many other famous mariners. The fate of the Lucette may explain the disappearance of small yachts including some around Tasmania where I live. |

Hi, I love your story. I watch Survive the Savage Sea (1992) a lot. I wish I had been shipwrecked with you. It would have been a real adventure. Much more interesting and worthwhile than sitting in front of a computer all day! Tom |

I discovered this amazing story today when I was reading an article in The Times online about Joe Simpson\'s Touching The Void. At the bottom of the page is a list of The Top Five Survival Stories; Survive The Savage Sea being one of them. Had to read more so looked up on Google and here I am :slightly_smiling_face: Link from The Times:- https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/times2/touching-the-void-joe-simpson-on-how-his-struggle-with-death-became-a-play-qdw37lt2z |

I poached my father\'s copy of this book when I was 8 years old and we were living in Brussels. I read it over and over again. (To this day I use the word \"pissoir\".) I just returned from San Juan Island, where I visited a second-hand bookstore and was amazed to find a first American hardcover edition of the book signed both by Dougal and Lyn. Of course I had to buy it, and am now rereading the book as an oldish lady of 53, having since published 40 books of my own - still as captivated as I was at 8 to read this story. I\'m delighted to find this website. I\'m also a ghostwriter and editor, and wonder if Lyn\'s book will ever be published? Cheers to you all, and to the memory of your late great parents. I wish I could have known them. |

I love stories of survival and heard about this one after reading \'Adrift\' as he talks about how he carries Dougal Robertson\'s survival at sea book with him and how much their tale of survival helps him to carry on. Would love to hear more about what happened to everyone after especially the twins and Anne - how did she feel when she found out what had happened and what was the reunion like? |

What a survival story. I\'ve read both Dougal and Douglas\'s books and have passed them on to friends. I would like to see the movie but haven\'t been able to locate on netflix or anywhere. Is it available? |
