In 1961, the Duperrault family planned an incredible trip to the Bahamas, by way of yacht. After planning and enjoying their time, a tragic incident left an 11 year old girl adrift in the Atlantic ocean. The 11 year old, Terry Jo shares pieces of her story and survival while on the open ocean.
Come along as Tori and MyKenna talk through the horrific but brave events of Terry Jo’s experiences, what their own yacht names would be, and what precautions can be made in the 21st century.
Disclaimer: Andy (MyKenna's cat) was throwing a fit, so he makes a few appearances, along with the technical difficulties that go with virtually recording.
