Spanish Tourists Rescued After Boat's Engine Fails

Fourteen Spanish tourists leapt into the sea to be rescued after their boat's engine cut out on Saturday afternoon. The group - ten adults and four children - had hired the luxury catamaran last Tuesday for a five day trip around the Andaman sea off the coast of Phuket, Thailand. They were due to return on Saturday but the vessel was overcome by three metre high waves before suffering a mechanical failure near to Koh Phi Phi island.
