A MARRIAGE AT SEA A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck

Marisa Calin narrates this fraught tale of shipwreck, marriage, and survival. Maurice and Marilyn quit their jobs and embark on sailing the ocean without an engine or radio. They see it as the experience of a lifetime. When a whale sinks their boat and leaves them adrift on a raft in the Pacific, the two struggle for four months to stay alive and maintain their sanity. Calin deftly moves between their heartbreaking moments of despair and their drive for survival and belief in rescue, even as things grow desperate. Calin not only makes the factual aspects of the audiobook clear, she also grabs the listener's attention and doesn't let go until the final moments of this wild story.
