CHUUK STATE, Micronesia, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- U.S. Coast Guard officials helped rescue two boaters stranded on an island near Micronesia after they wrote "SOS" in the sand.
The pair's makeshift "SOS" sign was spotted by crew on a U.S. Navy vessel, who alerted Coast Guard Sector Guam of their whereabouts on Aug. 25.
