A teenage US sailor who went missing while sailing solo around the world has been found safe and well, her family has said. Abby Sunderland, 16, was more than 3,220km (2,000 miles) from the coasts of both Africa and Australia when she set off distress beacons. Search vessels were on their way to her but her father said the boat had now been found with her on board. “It's huge, fantastic, exciting news,” Laurence Sunderland told ABC News. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10291246.stm added by: H3ADLINE
