A very lucky man:
============== "SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- A Chilean navy search plane has located an American solo sailor on his disabled yacht off the southern tip of South America, and a Chilean navy officer said rescuers will probably reach him early Friday. A fishing trawler was sailing to rescue the Southern California sailor, Ken Barnes, whose round-the-world solo trip was interrupted a week ago when his 44-foot ketch hit a storm that broke both its masts and soaked Barnes' supplies and food. Barnes, 47, lost contact with friends when the battery of his satellite telephone ran down on Wednesday, but his girlfriend Cathy Chambers said he managed another brief call again Thursday morning, saying he was surviving on Pop Tarts and granola bars. He has a small cut on his leg, she said." ============== Complete story he http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americ....ap/index.html |
