When Kelly Rowland feared for life

Singer-songwriter Kelly Rowland says she feared for life when a boat she was travelling in, lost its way in the sea.

The 32-year-old was caught up in a scary rescue mission in July during a botched whale watching expedition with four friends on a private rented boat in Provincetown in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

"I remember thinking to myself, 'Lord, please don't let this boat capsize. Please let us get to shore in one safe, sound piece. I just want to see tomorrow," people.com was quoted Rowland as saying.

"There was no more shore, no more land, we're seeing no more of the boys, no more of the boats passing by - it's just in the middle of nowhere, so we realised that we're lost," she added.

The gang tried to call for help from their mobile phones, but except the singer, nobody was able to get a signal.

"I was like, 'Please, Lord, give me two bars'. He gave me two bars and we contacted some folks that were on land and they helped us," she said.

A towboat was finally sent to rescue them, and they arrived back in Provincetown over 10 hours after they first realised they were lost.

Rowland is now adamant that she won't get on another boat "for a long time - a very long time".
