SYDNEY, Australia — An Italian adventurer who spent 10 months rowing more than 9,500 nautical miles across the Pacific was rescued a mere 65 nautical miles short of his goal — Australia — after rough weather sapped him of his final shreds of energy.
Alex Bellini, who began his voyage off Peru in February, contacted his wife Friday to say he was too exhausted to row his 25-foot boat any farther, despite being nearly in sight of the eastern Australian town of Laurieton.
