‘Record Breakers Rescued’

‘Record Breakers Rescued’

Four Britons attempting to break the world trans-Atlantic rowing record were rescued yesterday after their boat broke up in heavy storms, the coastguard said.

A Swedish vessel picked up the crew of the Pink Lady, who were clinging to a life raft some 482 km west of the Isles of Scilly, off England’s southwestern tip. The four oarsmen, who left Newfoundland in Canada on June 30, were trying to beat the current 55-day record when their boat was caught in a hurricane and split in two.- Nampa-APThe four oarsmen, who left Newfoundland in Canada on June 30, were trying to beat the current 55-day record when their boat was caught in a hurricane and split in two.- Nampa-AP
