Rower just fails to cross Pacific

Alexandro Bellini had been rowing for 295 days before he called his wife alerting her that he was nearing exhaustion. The 30-year-old man was rescued by Australian police and Search and Rescue, off New South Wales then tugged by a New Zealand vessel to Australia. The tug boat arrived in Newcastle on Saturday where Bellini was reunited with his wife.
