News: Bethenny Frankel's Near Death Experience
Things got a little too real during "Real Housewives of NYC" star Bethenny Frankel’s sailing trip this weekend, as she and her husband spent over twenty-hours stranded in the North Atlantic. A GPS failure on the couple’s sailboat lead to a scary and absolutely traumatic ordeal for the reality couple.
”I was on a sailboat on Saturday that was supposed to be eight hours and it ended up being twenty because were lost at sea,” she told E! News. Their ship was en route to the island of Nantucket when it was hit by a large tidal wave that disabled their navigation device.
”We were in the middle of the deep sea with no land or anybody near us,” she explained. “The captain had never, in 30 years, called the Coast Guard.” Luckily the team is back on land. And even more luckily, a camera crew for her new reality show "Bethenny Ever After" was on hand.
