Fishing boat to the rescue as teen's round-the-world bid ends

A French fishing vessel was steaming across the southern Indian Ocean today to reach an American teenager stranded after the mast on her yacht broke, ending her round-the-world record bid.

Abby Sunderland, from California, has been stranded in heavy seas since Thursday, when she set off a distress signal after the mast collapsed, knocking out her satellite communications.
