The Lonely Sea

The extraordinary story of how Sue Dockar survived two days and two nights lost alone at sea after being swept away during a spearfishing contest in shark-infested waters off the Queensland. Like the best books in this genre, including The Perfect Storm, it explores a largely unknown subculture (in this case spearfishing), bringing its eccentric and memorable characters vividly to life, and shows how a series of small and individually avoidable errors dominoed into inevitable disaster.
