'We were toward the end of our search pattern.' An 'SOS' message written in the sand saved three men stranded on a Pacific island.

Hong Kong An"SOS" message written on the beach of a tiny Pacific island pointed rescuers to three missing mariners, United States and Australian authorities said Tuesday.

The three men had set out in a 23-foot boat last Thursday to make a 26-mile journey from Pulawat to Pulap atolls in the Federated States of Micronesia. They went off course and ran out of fuel, landing on tiny, uninhabited Pikelot Island, 118 miles from their intended destination, according to US and Australian authorities.

“'I am proud of the response and professionalism of all on board as we fulfill our obligation to contribute to the safety of life at sea wherever we are in the world,' he said.” THIS is what I’m missing from our government nowadays. Kindness!!

Ok but was the island Covid free? Cuz that's pretty much the barometer for me right now.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip ... It's hard to believe that a three-hour tour could turn out so badly.
