Sea Mike Golding/girlfriend 1999

A dejected Mike Golding is reunited with his girlfriend Andrea Bacon, in Cape Regina, where he landed when his boat Team Group Four, began taking on water after hitting an object off the coast of New Zealand, near the end of the second leg of the 27,000 Around Alone Yacht Race. Mr Golding, from Southampton, is tonight (Friday) assessing the damage to his boat before making the decision whether to continue in the race. See PA story SEA Golding. Photo by Mark Pepper/PA
