The Longest Drift: A Couple's True Story of Survival at Sea for 117 Days What would you do if your dream voyage suddenly turned into a fight for your life? In 1973, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey set out from Panama aboard their beloved yacht, Auralyn, chasing the promise of freedom across the Pacific Ocean. What began as a daring adventure quickly spiraled into one of the most astonishing survival stories of the century. When their vessel was fatally struck by whales, the couple barely escaped with their lives, clinging to a small inflatable raft and dinghy as their only hope.
