Head Injury Forces Naked Rower to Shore

An Irishman rowing naked across the Indian Ocean has been rescued off Australia after he hit his head in rough seas. Keith Whelan stopped the bleeding himself after a swell threw him. He called a member of his team in Britain who notified Australian authorities. A cargo ship eventually picked him up. The 29-year-old wants to become the youngest person to sail from Australia to Mauritius, off Africa. But he's added another twist: He's not wearing clothes. Bad weather has already forced Whelan back to shore once. Follow his attempt online at the Naked Adventurer. (More Australia stories.)
