'Oh my god, it was just emotion... I was so grateful,' one of the stranded yachtsmen said, describing the moment he saw the rescue vessel.
Cruise ship staff rescued three men stranded on a life raft in the South Pacific on Thursday, according to reports.
Realizing the seriousness of their predicament, Johnson made several calls to alert people of the situation. The 811-foot-long Pacific Dawn—which was in the middle of a seven-night cruise of the South Pacific—diverted from its planned route and made a beeline for the stranded yachtsmen. "Oh my god, it was just emotion... I was so grateful," Johnson said, describing the moment he saw the rescue vessel.
