Bill and Susan Butler from Miami spent sixty-six days in a life-raft in the seas of Central America after their yacht sank.

Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their yacht they met some whales. "They started to hit one side of the boat,"said Bill, "and suddenly we heard water". Two minutes later, the yacht was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.

For twenty days they had biscuits and bottles of water. They also had a fishing line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things that helped them to live there. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw. Then the line broke. "So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands."

About twenty ships passed them but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn`t stand up and the boat took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
