66 Days Adrift

66 Days Adrift


Price: £8.99 / €13.31

Quantity:



The lure of paradise was unmistakable, and Bill Butler was on a quest to find it with his wife Simonne—riding the Pacific currents on their sloop Siboney, with a world of possibilities ahead. But, twelve hundred miles from land, the alluring ocean showed its deadly side when, without warning, a pod of pilot whales attacked their sailboat, battering it until it sank beneath the waves. The dazed couple was left drifting in midocean in a leaky six-foot raft meant for coastal waters, with only a few hastily grabbed provisions to sustain them. Simonne, who had never truly shared Bill's dream of circumnavigating the globe, blamed him bitterly for their desperate plight.

In this powerful account of their 66-day odyssey, Butler tells a gritty, harrowing tale of their battles against nature, despair, and their own demons. He reveals how he and Simonne found the strength to survive despite the ravages of hunger, storms, and sharks. Based on Butler's faithful log entries, 66 Days Adrift is both a chilling cautionary tale for sailors with big ideas and an inspiring story of love, faith, and survival against long odds.

Teak Cleaner & Brightener Combo Pack

Teak Cleaner & Brightener Combo Pack

£17.95 / €26.57

Keeping teak clean since 1973

These great products leave the deck looking like ‘new’. Applying the two products contained in each bottle one after the other washes away the grey colour that has accumulated in the wood only to rediscover the splendid golden colour that new or just sanded teak possesses. All in a few minutes and without removing millimetres of precious wood from the deck, as occurs during sanding. Neither of these two liquids is aggressive or caustic and therefore does not damage rubber, paint or stainless steel fittings. An incredible way of saving time and effort, and even if Teak Wonder Brightener does not always have to be applied, using it on teak just washed with Teak Wonder Cleaner when it is rather dark, is a miraculous sight: 'it immediately acquires that just sanded colours’ Practical Sailor
