Missing sailor found

Round-the-world sailor Sergei Morozov was located yesterday morning after his flares were spotted by crew members aboard a merchant vessel.Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre said Mr Morozov is now proceeding towards the Island on his 35ft sailboat Hikari Dreammaker, having received food and supplies from merchant vessel Luisia Colossus.Earlier this week, the US Coast Guard had been searching for the lone sailor, after his daughter reported him overdue in Bermuda.He was discovered by the Luisia Colossus in the early hours of yesterday.BMOC says his vessel is suffering from engine failure but he should be able to sail towards the Island in the next two days, before being towed into St George’s.His trip to Bermuda is the first leg of his circumnavigation, in his bid to find sponsors for a future attempt to row around the world.http://hikari-around-the-world.com/en/
