PORTLAND, Maine (WGAN) The Coast Guard says a 911 call that prompted a two-day search for a sailboat off the Maine coast last month was made by a sailor who was cold and seasick.
The crew of the 40-foot sailboat eventually reported that all was fine as the sailboat traveled off the coast of New York’s Long Island on Nov. 18. A day later, the three crew members abandoned the sailboat after it became disabled off the coast of Virginia.
The crew was rescued by a cargo ship.
