VILNIUS - Three Lithuanian citizens were stranded for three days after their yacht crashed near the Latvian coast.

LNK TV news reported  that a crew of a Latvian coast guard vessel was surprised to discover three Lithuanians who had spent almost 72 hours without food and fresh water on a stone breakwater in the Baltic Sea.

"They were frozen to the bone, pale and wet. They thought nobody would find them. We could see that the persons were happy to understand that everything would be fine now," Gaitis Grins of the Latvian Coast Guard told LNK.

The three Lithuanians- a 46-year-old man, his 22-year-old son and a 20-year-old friend - were taken ashore, warmed up and given food. The Latvian border guards said it took about an hour and a half before the three men could speak.
