U.S. Navy sailors were greeted by barking dogs and blown kisses Wednesday as they pulled alongside two Americans who had been drifting aboard a foundering sailboat for several months.
According to the Navy, Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiaba set sail this spring from Honolulu, headed to Tahiti – a 2,700-mile trip south across the Pacific Ocean. Even when their engine failed in late May, they vowed to press on under sail power alone, believing they could still reach Tahiti.
