Two men who were missing for 10 days after their vessel, the Atrevida II, was pushed out to sea by a storm and lost power recalled their miraculous rescue.
The two men said during a press conference Wednesday evening on Staten Island they were swept off course by a storm — but survived with a little faith. The crew from the Hong Kong-flagged tanker, Silver Muna, located the missing sailboat and its crew that had been adrift for 10 days in the Atlantic Ocean, Dec. 13 2022.
