This is very strange, Emergency services in Australia have launched a search for the three-man crew of a yacht found drifting off the North Queensland coast. The Kaz II was found with its engine running, and a table laid for dinner, but there were no signs of any people. An air and sea rescue operation has been launched to retrace the yacht's voyage, and pinpoint the search area. The boat left Airlie Beach on Sunday bound for Townsville on the first leg of a voyage around northern Australia. The 12m (40 foot) catamaran was spotted by a helicopter on Wednesday drifting off the Great Barrier Reef, but a rescue team only reached the boat on Friday, and confirmed that there was no one aboard. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6574547.stm
