The Bayesian , a 184-foot British -flagged yacht, was struck by a tornado over the water, officials say.

One body has been recovered, identified by officials as the Antiguan -born on-board chef.

Divers resume searching for six people believed trapped in the hull of the yacht.

15 of the 22 people aboard survived, including a mother who held her 1-year-old baby over the waves to save her.

1-year-old girl held over waves until lifeboat inflated and they were pulled to safety, doctors say.

The father, identified by ANSA news agency, also survived.

"They don't talk much, primarily because they consider themselves survivors," doctor says.

The coast guard says to date there has been no trace of fuel leaks from the wreckage.
