Rescued rowers may try ocean race gain

TWO Irish rowers who nearly died when their boat capsized in a transatlantic race have not ruled out another attempt at the challenge.

Gearóid Towey, 28, from Kilworth, Co Cork, and Ciaran Lewis, 34, from Dalkey, Co Dublin, were greeted by an emotional band of family and friends at Dublin Airport yesterday.

The weary pair had been travelling for nearly a week since a Spanish supertanker rescued them from a force seven storm near Bermuda.
