For 3 terrifying days, Michelle Hamilton-Gregory of Perth (Australia), clung helplessly to her capsized canoe off the Philippine coast. Surrounded by menacing sharks and with no food or water she endured the relentless sun by day and violent storms at night. Eventually ⦠dehydrated, severely sunburnt and bleeding, Michelle was rescued by the amazed crew of a passing Filipino fishing boat, who believed the blonde girl, wearing a bikini and flippers ... must be a mermaid!
Michelleâs story has featured in the Readers Digest, newspapers and magazines around the world, and has led to some hundred radio interviews and TV appearances.
