A British sailor came to the rescue of a group of 'desperate and starving' islanders after chancing upon them on his way to Australia, the coastguard said today.
Alex Bond, from Penryn, Cornwall, docked the yacht Mary Powell at Kanton Island - an atoll between Hawaii and Fiji - where he was met by extraordinary scenes.
Mr Bond, 46, who was delivering the 10-metre yacht from Hawaii, found the island's 14 adults and 10 children had been given no supplies for several months. The ship due to bring them was stuck nearby.

He contacted Falmouth Coastguard for help, who in turn called their American counterparts and the Honolulu authorities to arrange a drop-off.
In the meantime he gave the islanders - who had been surviving on coconuts and fish - anything he could spare.

A Falmouth coastguard spokesman said today: 'When the British sailor arrived, he was was met by the desperate and starving islanders who had not been delivered any supplies for months.
Remote: He found them on Kanton Island, an atoll between Hawaii and Fiji
'The supply ship which should have brought them provisions was stuck at a nearby island. They had been living off just coconuts and any fish that they could catch for months.'
The coastguard said there was no way of knowing who would have found the starving population, had not Mr Bond stopped off on there.
Richard Williams, Falmouth's Watch Assistant said: 'The British sailor has given the islanders all the supplies that he can spare from his 33 foot yacht.

'We are now working with the Americans to drop supplies or land on the island. As the island was used by the Americans and the British during the war it does have a run way.
It is the largest, northernmost and sole inhabited island of the Phoenix Islands, in the Republic of Kiribati, located in the South Pacific Ocean between Fiji and Hawaii



'We don't normally get requests like these from British sailors, but hopefully we will be able to help the islanders to get the supplies that they need.

'So far, we have been given a shopping list of provisions such as cooking fat, rice, sugar and flour which we have passed on to the Americans.'
As well as being a delivery skipper, Mr Bond is reported to have worked for the disaster relief charity, ShelterBox, based in Cornwall.
Life saver: Mr Bond, right, gave the desperate islanders any supplies he could before contacting the authorities

great to read your blog,sounds like you had a lot of fun,sorry to hear that you plan on selling the yacht,but is probably the right decision. It's a good boat, so it must be easy to sell. well done.
ive just finished a delivery from hawaii to australia on a 33 ft yacht,currently in taiwan,but fly home tommorow.
cheeers alex

Hoi luitjes,
Vergeleken bij jullie verhaal is het verhaal van Alex wel echt chill! Maar zo zie je maar dat wat communicatiemiddelen toch wel handig zijn.
Daan, we hebben wel een paar beessies voor je!
Morgen gaan we allemaal voetbal kijken. Nu is de troostfinale bezig en na een paar hele hete dagen gaat het zo regenen en mogelijk flink onweren. Dat zal hopelijk de warmte wat verdrijven.
Duitsland staat als met 1 - 0 voor. Morgen moeten wij winnen!
Hopelijk lukt het jullie een leuk huisje te vinden voor de laatste 2 weken. Alhoewel we blij zijn dat jullie terugkomen zullen we jullie verhalen zeker gaan missen!! Ik denk dat jullie de vrijheid en de schoonheid van de oceanen, de stranden en de leuke contacten met de andere wereldreizigers wel erg zullen gaan missen.
Het is nu 1 - 1!

Vanuit warm Zoetermeer sturen we jullie heel veel groetjes en de wens dat jullie nog een top laatste periode zullen hebben.

Liefs, Eveline

Beste Giel , Monica en kids,
Van Joep en Ciel hoorden we van jullie avontuurlijke reis.
Akke en ik genoten van de foto's en de reisverslagen.
Vrienden van ons, Henk en Joke Bijl charteren op de catamaran Zeevonk in het Caribisch gebied, Google op Zeevonk en je vindt hun actuele verhaal.
Jelmer onze zoon is piloot op de 747 bij KLM en hij vliegt nu vaak de route St. Maarten Curacao.
Ik wens jullie nog een gouden tijd op dit laatste deel van de trip.
A big bear hug
Ivo en Akke Baurichter
