(CNN) -- The parents of the 16-year-old girl rescued when she was stranded on a yacht in the Indian Ocean say they are relieved and thankful that she is safe.
"She's bumped and bruised but doesn't have anything obvious or major wrong," Abby Sunderland's mother, Marianna, told reporters Saturday.
A fishing vessel from Reunion Island rescued the Thousand Oaks, California, girl Saturday, a day after she set off distress signals when her boat, Wild Eyes, was crippled by heavy seas.
Abby Sunderland was about halfway through her quest to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe alone in a sailboat.
