This teenage girl is sailing around the world solo (are her parents crazy?) and contact was lost yesterday. She is OK but the boat has been dismasted in a bad storm. Rescue is on the way.
However, this AP story gives all but one measurement reference in dual. Very unusual for them, the AP style guide pretends metric doesn't exist. While we would all prefer metric in the primary position, this is still an improvement and deserves to be recognized as such. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100611/ap_on_re_as/lost_sailor_found
