Four members of a Spanish family have been rescued after their yacht ran aground off Libong Island during a severe storm on May 21. The yacht, carrying a husband and wife and their two children, was travelling from the Malaysian inland of Langkawi to Phuket when the storm forced it onto rocks, said Abdulroheem Krunraksa, the village headman of Libong Island. Abdulroheem immediately alerted ma-rine police and mobilised local residents to help bring the four tourists to safety.
