A man whose boat capsized in stormy seas off Australia's north coast was rescued on Wednesday after he survived for almost 24 hours in shark- and crocodile-infested waters by clinging to a piece of wood.The Queensland man was found floating in the Torres Strait 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from his upturned dinghy by an air rescue crew.By late morning "the upturned dinghy was located in the water and following a short aerial search the missing person was found about two kilometers from the dinghy," the authority said.The Torres Strait consists of 18 islands, which are scattered over a geographic area of 48,000 square kilometers, according to the government.The incident comes about two months after three men whose fishing boat sank in the Gulf of Mexico were rescued after surviving for more than a day despite being attacked by sharks that inflicted deep cuts on their hands and shredded one of their life jackets."
