Synopsis

One woman's struggle for survival at sea alone on a forty-foot sailboat, Lady Alone is a tribute to those souls who have conquered their fears to overcome deteriorating calamities far beyond their limits.

Joan Mackland, a twenty-three year old Kiwi with no previous sailing experience, makes a bold statement of independence by becoming sole crew on a forty-foot sloop named, Atmosphere, bound from Guam to Hong Kong. On the high seas, life on board Atmosphere becomes routine, but in a nighttime storm in the middle of the Western Pacific Ocean, the captain is lost overboard, and Joan is thrown headlong into a desperate search that deteriorates into her own survival made more untenable by rookie mistakes that all but doom her and the boat.
