Peter believes he is living on borrowed time following a near-death experience and decides to leave the past behind. He sets off into the blue on his small sailing yacht but soon faces life-threatening drama on the high seas.

He is unstoppable, even when a Tarot reader correctly predicts he will be in a disaster alone on his yacht in the deep Atlantic.
When he embarks on a relationship with Swiss singer-songwriter Monique, she declares, ‘I’d find it easier cooking on the side of the Jungfrau Mountain than with your boat heeling at such an angle!’

With her husband skipper, Peter, at the helm of their self-built yacht, they experience a near-shipwreck on rocks, a close encounter with barges the size of horizontal skyscrapers, a group of gangsters – and so much more.
But will they make it to Nashville?
