A French solo sailor adrift for days in a life raft in the Southern Ocean after his yacht sank was rescued by the crew of an Antarctic cruise ship Sunday, Australian maritime officials said.
“I’m very pleased to confirm the solo sailor, who had been in a life raft in the Southern Ocean for the past three days, has been recovered by the cruise ship Orion and AMSA believes he is being taken to Hobart,” said a spokeswoman for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
