Maelstrom Part I

A sailing adventure turns into a nightmare In Part 1 of Maelstrom. Ryan Cunningham sells his house, moves onto his sailboat and decides to go on an aquatic walkabout; sailing first from New England to the Caribbean and then wherever the wind blows him. In the weeks leading up to his departure he meets a beautiful, younger, mother of two who is trying to put her life back together. Ryan agrees to let them ride South as crew. On the first leg of their trip they survive a two-day storm of hurricane force winds on the way to Bermuda. In Bermuda, they run afoul of an amoral, international drug smuggler named Edward and his mega-yacht full of misfits and their entire world falls apart. Sometimes the only way to survive is to reach deep inside to a primitive place that resides in all of us.
