When sailor Tami Oldham Ashcraft and her fiance Richard Sharp were offered a gig sailing a yacht from Tahiti to San Diego, it seemed like a dream job. After all, the weather looked perfect and the trip was only a month – it would be like a paid vacation, they thought! However, out on the open ocean, things can change in a heartbeat…
While the first week of their trip went by without any problems, Ashcraft and Sharp found themselves in the battle of a lifetime when they crossed paths with a hurricane. Before she knew it, the young woman found herself alone at sea with almost no help or tools. And that was just the beginning of her incredible survival tale!
