A 58-year-old mariner survived a vessel capsizing west of Guam thanks to his use of multiple communication devices, staying with the vessel, and informing others of his plans, which enabled a rapid U.S. Coast Guard response. The mariner departed Merizo aboard 22-foot white pleasure boat Solo 2 to fish. Adverse sea conditions, including a high surf advisory and a rip current statement, were in effect for Guam and likely contributed to the vessel capsizing. |
