two German crew of a small yacht who set off from Ibiza to sail home to Germany arrived safe and sound in Almería Port on Tuesday morning after two days adrift at sea.
They had set sail from the Baleares a week previously, but were left with no rudder, no sails and no communication after they were hit by stormy weather. Ideal newspaper reports that their 2-mast 32 year old yacht was having serious problems in remaining afloat when it was spotted by another yacht, and a call was sent out for help.
A Coastguard boat reached the stricken vessel on Monday night when it was some 40 miles off the south eastern coast of Cabo de Gata. The yacht and its crew were safely in port in Almería by 7am on Tuesday.
