Shipwrecked Rowers Rescued In Atlantic
Four shipwrecked rowers have been hauled to safety from their life raft
stranded in stormy Atlantic seas.

The Britons were aiming to set a new world rowing record when their
transatlantic rowing boat The Pink Lady split in two.It left the four, who
had been at sea for 39 days, clinging on to a life raft in a force 7 storm
and heavy seas.

Funny things these force 7 storms ...... wonder why news organisations
*always* misread Beaufort so badly.
