US yachtsman rescued after 8 days adrift

Written By Unknown on Senin, 24 Desember 2012 | 18.16

VIETNAMESE fishermen have rescued an American man who had been drifting at sea for eight days on a disabled yacht.

Coastguard official Vo Hoang Liet said on Monday that Kenneth Putney of Melbourne, Florida, was in good health after being rescued on Thursday.

Liet says Putney, 54, told Vietnamese authorities he and three others were towing a yacht from the Philippines to Thailand when the rope broke on December 15.

He said Putney jumped onto the yacht because he feared it would be lost.

Putney drifted on the yacht for eight days before being rescued by the fishermen 25 kilometres off the coast.

Putney will be handed over to US embassy. Liet did not say what happened to the other vessel.
