Ben McNally and wife safe after being rescued in Galapagos Islands
Bookstore owner Ben McNally and his wife Lynn were among the 16 Canadians who had to be rescued from a yacht in the Galapagos Islands on Wednesday night. According to the CBC, the boat hit a reef and ran aground. All of the passengers and crew were rescued and no injuries were reported.
Q&Q contacted McNally’s son Rupert, who works at Ben McNally Books on Bay Street in Toronto. “I spoke to him last night and he was laughing about the whole thing,” said Rupert. His stepmother Lynn was one of the Canadians who lost their passports during the rescue. They are waiting for faxed documents to come through so that they can fly home as soon as possible. They were originally scheduled to return from their vacation next Sunday, but cut the trip short due to the ordeal.
According to Rupert McNally, the alleged cause of the crash was a faulty lighthouse.
