Solo yachtswoman waits for rescue thousands of miles adrift in wrecked boat

(CNN)A solo yachtswoman who was competing in an around-the-world race is now waiting to be rescued in the Southern Ocean after a storm destroyed her boat and left her injured.

British sailor Susie Goodall — the only woman and the youngest competitor in the Golden Globe Race — was around 2,000 miles west of South America on Wednesday when a brutal storm lashed her boat with 60-knot winds.
