Plot: September 1998. The Hamble. Guy, the skipper of a wooden sloop, is taking four holiday-makers (Antonia, John, Brenda and Marcus) for a week's sailing. His mixed ability crew, all strangers, who normally would not give each other five minutes of their time, find themselves stranded in a life raft after their boat is mown down by another vessel. A gadget called the EPIRB, which they assume is in the sea giving the coastguards their position, is in the life raft lying in a bag alongside its owner's software manuals. As the five wait to be rescued, they gradually open up to one another.
