The U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy coordinated to save three experienced mariners stranded on an island in the Pacific after they spelled out the word ‘HELP’ on the sand using palm leaves.
The three sailors were stranded on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean for over a week until they were rescued on Tuesday thanks to the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy. The castaways, all in their 40s, set out on Easter Sunday aboard a “small 20-foot open skiff equipped with an outboard motor,” according to the Coast Guard’s press release.
