Surviving 117 Days At Sea The Baileys Rescue Tale
A British couple rescued after 117 days adrift in the Pacific say they survived on rain water sea gulls turtles and sharks. Michael Bailey 41 and his wife 32 were picked up by a South Korean fishing boat near 40 days after their yacht sank following a whale collision. They described extreme malnutrition but are receiving treatment aboard the Weolmi bound for Pusan. The couple left England a year earlier for an around the world voyage from New Zealand via Panama. The rescue followed seven vessels passing nearby without sighting them.
