SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A man, his son and his teenage nephew survived for three weeks on squid and rainwater as their boat drifted in choppy waters off the northeastern tip of Australia, police said Wednesday.
John Tabo, 38, his son John, 20, and his nephew Tom, 16, set off from their home on Murray Island in a fiberglass boat on April 17 to pick up members of a rugby team from an island 43 miles away, police said.
But the trio lost their bearings, ran out of fuel and were buffeted by strong winds as a cyclone passed. Murray Island is more than 60 miles from the Australian coast.
