Rescue teams have been deployed to save the lives of two pensioners stranded aboard their yacht off the coast of Australia.
The two men, both in their 70s and from New Zealand, have been adrift in the Tasman Sea for 36 hours after their vessel confronted huge storms 164 miles off the coast of Lord Howe Island.
The men set off their emergency beacons at around 5am local time, sparking the launch of the rescue teams.
