Before you ask – no, there weren’t any volleyballs called Wilson.
No one wants to end up stranded on a deserted Pacific island, although at least this story has a happy ending. The missing seamen (keep it together) spelled out ‘HELP’ in the sand using palm fronds, with the Navy seeing the cry for assistance and swooping in.
Below from NY Daily News:
The sailors went missing Tuesday while sailing to Weno Island, a tiny Micronesian atoll in the state of Chuuk. Four nautical miles into their trek, a giant wave capsized their 19-foot skiff, forcing the trio to swim all night to a deserted island known as Fandadik.
They fashioned a distress signal with leaves, which caught the attention of a U.S. Navy crew from Japan.
The men were taken to Pulap, while family members were relayed the good news from search and rescue watchstanders in Guam.
You see Lost, that’s how you end a story – not with some weird ‘purgatory universe’ that no one could figure out.
