The couple, Stuart Armstrong and Andrea Davison, stared death in the face after the rudder of their boat became stuck after just six days into a journey from Africa to Antigua. After 16 days they lost power.
At first they did not worry because they had notified both the British and American authorities and they had plenty of rations, but as time passed and their power went out, they could no longer convert sea water to drinking water. Both British and American authorities refused to help because of their remote location.
They just kept drifting helplessly towards the Caribbean (that was lucky). They were finally rescued after 40 days a drift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
