Backpackers winched from stricken yacht

This thing went aground in the Whitsundays. Damn what an ugly ugly mess that is. It looks like someone built a shed for some portaloos on the foredeck.

I loath going out on charter cruises of any description but I don't think you could get me on that monstrosity with an Ak47.

Still and all, everyone was taken off safely which is good I suppose even though they were backpackers.
