The people on sunken boat SV Raindancer in the Pacific are safely aboard SV Rolling Stone after 10 hrs in a lifeboat.
Great job by them and all the other yachts incl SV Far that went to the rescue.
Most of the rescue was coordinated by WhatsApp using Starlink which is a game changer when it comes to safety. At least 8 yachts, mainly World Arc rally members plus a large ship responded.
Update from the skipper of Raindancer Rick added in photos...
