Yorkshire yachtsman found safe after missing for a week
Humber Coastguard talked about the rescue of Charles Pickering, a 69 year old Yorkshire yachtsman who's been found safe and well after he had been missing for a week. A huge search operation, involving a rescue helicopter from RAF Leconfield, scoured the area from Scarborough to the median line in the middle of the North Sea.
Coastguards in Germany also carried out a similar search from Helgoland, a small island in the North Sea, and French, Belgian and Dutch authorities were alerted to his disappearance.
