Kenneth Putney, a US national employed by a company in the Philippines, was the only person aboard. He said the yacht, which was travelling to Thailand from the Philippines, was towed by another boat.
Exposed to rough seas and strong waves, the rope broke, leaving the yacht adrift without communication since December 15. When discovered, it had run out of fuel and food, and Putney was exhausted.
Putney is now in a stable condition. The provincial border guards have informed the Foreign Ministry of the case.-VNA
