Shipwrecked at home – ‘Grateful to be with family for Christmas’

Date:

What a story! Helmut Wimmer (64) from Enns in Upper Austria was shipwrecked in the Atlantic Ocean for two weeks. After the rescue, there was only one thought: “Home.” Before that, however, he called the “Krone”.

Christmas with the family. That seemed far away at the beginning of December for a 64-year-old from Enns. Helmut Wimmer from Enns in the mid-Atlantic had to fear for his life for two weeks after shipwrecking the yacht he was supposed to take from Mallorca to Panama. The father of four spoke to the “crown” – when he disembarked the “World Voyager” in the port of Bridgetown, the crew of which had rescued him and three Moroccans – about the accident and the rescue, which then almost ended because of the red tape in Barbados would have gone wrong.
