LONDON — A lone Australian yachtswoman, trying to become the first woman to sail nonstop around Antarctica, was rescued by a British Royal Navy ship after nearly two months adrift in the South Atlantic.
Anne Lise Guy, 44, left Mooloolaba, Queensland, in November. Her 36-foot yacht Wildflower was damaged in bad weather west of Cape Horn.
She was picked up by the Grey Rover fueler on Tuesday north of South Georgia island.
