My cousin sailed to the South Pacific with her husband and two kids. They landed at some really primitive place in Fiji where she got deathly ill from an unknown cause.

The people there had no doctor. Finally they managed to get her on a plane to Australia where she was diagnosed by a doctor who was one of only two or three doctors in the world who knew anything about this disease (some kind of meningitis, I think).

The doctor treated her successfully.

The kids sailed the boat from Fiji to Australia, where they picked up my cousin and her husband.

Then they sailed back home.

Then her husband got involved with somebody else, took the boat and sailed it down to Chile where he sold it and took the money.

I only have the sketchiest details of this story, but it was quite an adventure.
