Gran Canaria - 27.01.2012 - A sea rescue ship was dispatched late yesterday after receiving word that the Lydia Rose, the Britons' small pedalo boat, was in difficulty in choppy waters, with waves several metres high. After an operation lasting through the night, the pair and their craft were towed back to Mogán, where they arrived early this morning. The rowers had hoped to raise 50,000 pounds for a children's hospital by completing the 3000 mile crossing in just 32 days. Their first attempt at the crossing back in December also ended swiftly, a mere 14 miles off the coast.
