Quick Summary

Officials reported that two children and three adults were rescued after being stranded in a tiny boat in the Pacific Ocean for three months. The group had set out on a one-hour tour from Murilo island, Micronesia, but was swept away during a storm on July 30. They were eventually found off Fanning Island, part of Kiribati, and US Coast Guard teams searched over 25,000 nautical miles before the search was called off on August 9. Authorities are now working to return the survivors home while continuing to search for the four others who initially set out with them.

Story summary

Five people, including two children, were rescued Sunday off Fanning Island in Kiribati after drifting at sea for approximately three months. The group had set out on July 30 from Murilo Island in Micronesia on a routine one-hour crossing to Ruo Island but was caught in a storm that pushed them eastward over 5,400 kilometers (3,355 miles). Villagers spotted the drifting boat and provided aid. A search by the US Coast Guard covering 25,000 nautical miles had been suspended on August 9 without finding any trace of the missing group. The rescued individuals are being cared for locally and will likely be transferred to Kirimati Island for further medical treatment. Four others from the original nine-person crew remain unaccounted for.
