Two Teens Feared Lost at Sea Found Safe and Sound

In a miraculous turn of events, two teenagers who were feared dead were found safe, six days and one hundred miles away from where they went off course. The pair were on a Sunfish sailboat and put in around Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, despite a small boat warning due to high winds and tide.

The boys realized they were in serious trouble almost immediately, and attempted to swim back to shore with the sailboat in tow, but the tide was too strong and they were swept out to sea. They were swept northward and were spotted six days later off of Cape Fear, North Carolina.

Here’s the story. What a happy ending!
