Rhode Island Couple Survive Shark Years in Brazilian Waters
A 29 year old Rhode Island woman and her husband spent six days at sea after a whale damaged their yacht 50 miles off Fernando de Noronha Brazil. They navigated in a 35 foot sail dinghy with survival gear, using smoke and flares to attract help and were rescued by a Brazilian fisherman. The woman, three months pregnant, described spotting sharks and a large marlin circling their dinghy during the ordeal.
