Pleasant Living Magazine

Title Town Publishing, $22.95

It is a medical fact that most people cannot survive for four days on the open sea without food, water, and protection from the sun.  Yet, eleven year old Tere Dupperrault survived and was able to tell the truth of the horrific events which befell her family on their vacation aboard the sailing yacht Bluebelle.

Julian Harvey was the handsome and charming skipper hired for their cruise out of fort Lauderdale in 1961.  He was a former fighter pilot who loved to sail.  However, beneath this façade was a man with a string of failed marriages, one ended by his wife’s and mother-in-law’s suspicious deaths.  He also had connections to fraudulent sail and sink schemes.  When Tere is picked up by the Greek trader, Captain Theo four days after the sinking of the Bluebelle, Julian’s story of a lone survivor didn’t hold water.  Read this fascinating account of a child’s will to survive and a celebrated man’s fall from grace.
