US Coast Guard rescues 3 US sailors in Atlantic Ocean
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard said Monday that it rescued three U.S. sailors whose vessel began taking on water during a trip from the British Virgin Islands to Bermuda.
The rescue involved a three-day tow to Puerto Rico that covered some 300 nautical miles (555 kilometers) after officials said it took a U.S. Coast Guard cutter 15 hours to reach the scene.
Authorities said the wife of one of the sailors called the Coast Guard on Thursday saying they were in distress.
