Two British men rescued after being stranded at sea for four days

Four people including two Brits have reportedly been rescued from a stricken boat after being stranded at sea for four days.

The men were said to be suffering from dehydration when they were winched to safety by helicopter around 60 miles north of Tenerife.

They made a Mayday call after seeing they were starting to take on water.

A Panamanian-flagged vessel named locally as Green Power is said to have responded by heading to the area they were in along with a Civil Guard vessel.

The four were taken to Tenerife South airport and are then thought to have been taken to a nearby hospital so they could be seen by medics.
