A search ship and spotter plane found a sailboat that had 5 Americans on board. These 5 had been lost at sea in the Philippines after leaving Guam and were expected to reach the central Cebu island on January 18th. U.S. authorities were informed and are working with the Philippine officials to provide help to the Americans. They were reported in good health. This problem has not been rare in recent times. The coast guard had rescued 260 out of 277 people aboard nearly a dozen boats that had sank or overturned last week alone. Rough waters have been a major problem lately, but U.S. officials were able to work with the Philippine officials to make sure the international relations staid positive regarding this issue.
