Northern California man on freighter after rescue

1437

A Northern California man who was rescued from his sinking sailboat off the coast of Mexico is spending Father's Day on a freighter bound for Panama, but his wife hopes to see him in time for their 23rd wedding anniversary.

Max Young, of Sacramento, was sailing alone late Tuesday about 40 miles west of La P1aya, Mexico, when his 50-foot boat was hit by a whale, lost its steering and started taking on water, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Pamela Boehland said.
