ABS Television/Radio: Two fishermen missing since Thursday have been found alive about 20 miles off the coast of Antigua & Barbuda.
Their overturned boat was spotted at 9:39 this morning by a helicopter from Calvin Ayre.
The men had been missing since they set off from St. Maarten for Antigua Thursday, with their last communication around 1 PM.
When the helicopter arrived, the men waved and embraced, clearly relieved after a night adrift.
A life raft and supplies were dropped to them while their coordinates were recorded for further rescue efforts.
Onboard the helicopter were a representative from ABSAR, the Antigua and Barbuda Search and Rescue, along with family members of the men and a crew from ABS News.
