Their story of survival on the high seas is so incredible not even Spielberg could improve on the drama. 46 days lost in a tiny boat, a tinnie, at the mercy of sharks and raging seas. A young Australian butcher and his two mates on holiday in the far flung nation of Kiribati; their tinnie cast into the middle of the Pacific Ocean in a storm. To survive, they caught birds and sharks with their bare hands. Incredibly, six ships sailed past, ignoring their cries for help. In their seventh week lost, a freak wave left them close to death. But then, just as they all faced certain death, a miracle rescue.
