Abby Sunderland: FOUND ALIVE
UPDATE:
Teen sailor Abby Sunderland has been found alive
UPDATE:
Abbey Sutherland’s boat upside down in Southern Ocean 2,000 nautical miles west of Australia.
The fate of an American teenage sailor whose emergency beacons were activated in treacherous seas more than 3000 kilometres off the Australian coast is ‘‘in God’s hands’’, her father said today.
Laurence Sunderland, who is Australian and is now based in California with this family, said he spoke to his 16-year-old daughter Abby five or six times by phone yesterday to help fix a problem with the boat’s engine, but shortly after the last call dropped out the family learned an emergency device had gone off.
‘‘Initially I though it was her remote device that may have gone off inadvertently … because the blow was abating,’’ Mr Sunderland told Radio 3AW today.
Let’s hope they can find her…..
