Stranded Boaters found via SOS in the sand!

I am blown away by the news of stranded boaters being found in Micronesia after writing SOS in the sand!

The most interesting part is it looks like these people were there long enough to build a shelter! Do you agree that the second "bush" from the right is a makeshift shelter? I look forward to hearing more of what these two were expecting of this incident. Were they preparing for the long haul? What did they eat? Did they have water or have to find water? I just keep imagining Gilligan's Island or Swiss Family Robinson for some reason. Glad to see these two made it thanks to their common sense.

Nothing short of a miracle, here! I cannot tell of a shelter, but it looks like a lady standing in a skirt though...?

Yes this is a crazy story and yes that does look like a lady in a skirt. Updated my post for gender neutrality. Thanks for pointing that out!

Did the article from the US Navy say where this is?

The article states an uninhabited Chuck State Island in Micronesia.

Yes. I'm sorry. You included that in your title!

I was just going to let that one go! Not a biggie! I've done the same thing if not worse at times, lol!
