The Coast Guard and Navy began searching for the boat Wednesday
after transportation officials in the Micronesian state of Chuuk
told the Coast Guard in Guam that the 28-foot skiff was
overdue.

The Coast Guard received a report that the boat had been spotted
marooned and overturned. The passengers ranging from 4 to 59 years
old were found on the island’s shore Thursday in good
condition.
