PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea — A woman survived 20 days adrift in a rubber life raft after her boat hit a reef and sank in a storm, officials said Thursday.
Claudine Pare, 42, of Noumea, New Caledonia, washed ashore in the raft on remote Tanga Island, in the far northeast of Papua New Guinea, on June 19. It took nine days for word of her plight to reach Port Moresby, the national capital.
