A sailor who had been missing for nearly two weeks was found alive off the coast of Washington State’s Cape Flattery on Thursday. The man was discovered adrift in a life raft by a group of good Samaritans who were on a fishing trip about 70 miles from Cape Flattery.
The man had been a passenger on the 43-foot vessel Evening, which departed from Grays Harbor, Washington on October 12. The vessel was expected to return to the area on October 15, but the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Northwest launched a search for the two passengers after the boat failed to return.
The Coast Guard searched 14,000 square miles of water before suspending the search on Wednesday. However, the man was found two days later by the group of good Samaritans. It is unclear how the group found the man, but a photo shared by the Coast Guard shows their boat.
The Coast Guard has not released the identity of the man or the other passenger, but they are thankful for the good Samaritans who found the man and are relieved that he is safe. The search for the other passenger is still ongoing.
