Overview

In 1973, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey set sail from Panama aboard their yacht, Auralyn, bound for New Zealand. It was meant to be a peaceful voyage across the Pacific-a shared dream of freedom and discovery. But when a whale collided with their vessel hundreds of miles from land, the Baileys' world was torn apart. Their boat sank beneath them, leaving the couple stranded in the open ocean with only an inflatable raft, a few supplies, and their will to survive. For 117 days, they drifted across the Pacific, facing blistering sun, violent storms, and an unrelenting fight for life. They survived on rainwater, caught fish by hand, and clung to each other through hunger, exhaustion, and isolation. Their ordeal became one of the most remarkable true survival stories of the twentieth century-a testament to courage, endurance, and the power of love in the face of impossible odds. Now revisited with a fresh perspective, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey Story honors their extraordinary resilience and examines how their legacy continues to inspire generations of sailors, dreamers, and survivors. It is more than a tale of survival-it is a celebration of human spirit and devotion tested by the sea itself. Experience one of the most unforgettable true stories ever told. Get your copy today and be inspired by the courage that carried two ordinary people through an extraordinary trial.
