Sailors Rescued After 72 Days Adrift in Pacific
Two bearded sailors from Washington, Robert Tininenko and James Fisher, survived 72 days afloat after their trimaran capsized July 11, 900 miles southwest of San Francisco. They were flown from Honolulu to Castle Memorial Hospital in Hawaii in critically weakened condition. Tininenko's wife Linda, who died last month, had been aboard. The men had survived on rainwater, saltwater, sardines, peanut butter, and limited food, while clinging to an air pocket during daylight.
