SANTIAGO, Chile — British sailor Susie Goodall is back on dry land after being rescued by a cargo ship in the southern Pacific Ocean where her boat capsized during a solo round-the-world race.
Goodall arrived Friday to the Chilean southern city of Punta Arenas, where she was met by her mother and brother. She declined to speak to journalists who waited for her arrival in the port city located about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometres) from Santiago.
The 29-year-old was the youngest entrant and the only woman in the Golden Globe competition that began July 1 in Les Sables-d’Olonne, France.
A violent storm ripped off her mast and flung her yacht end over end on Dec. 5. She was rescued two days later by a cargo vessel from China.
