Rescued Yachtsman Recounts Icy Ordeal

A British yachtsman whose boat overturned during a storm recounted his ordeal from aboard the Australian warship that rescued him from icy Antarctic seas. Tony Bullimore, 56, was competing in a round-the-world yacht race when the keel of his boat cracked during a storm. “It just went snap, and within seconds--literally within a few seconds--the boat was sitting upside down with me sitting inside the boat, sitting and standing and sliding around on the roof with water slowly seeping in,” he said. Bullimore, who was rescued Tuesday, said he kept dry by rigging a hammock of cargo nets in the overturned cabin. The crew of the Adelaide also picked up another race participant Tuesday, Frenchman Thierry Dubois, 29.
