  NEW JERSEY – A pair of missing boaters who were lost at sea for over a week have been found safe and were rescued by a nearby vessel off the coast of Delaware, officials said.

  Kevin Hyde and Joe Ditomasso along with their dog, departed from Cape May on November 27 embarking on a long journey along the Eastern Seaboard down to Marathon, Florida. However, the trip did not go as smoothly as they hoped.

  According to the United States Coast Guard, the two were last in contact with their family and friends on December 3, after departing Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. On December 11, the Coast Guard Fifth District command center were notified that Hyde and Ditomasso’s sailboat was overdue. Information was quickly communicated with other vessels in search of locating the sailors’ boat, the Atrevida II.

  The men were found safe about 214 miles of the coast of Delaware after flagging down the tanker vessel, Silver Muna. The Coast Guard stated that Hyde and Ditomasso’s sailboat was de-masted and without fuel or power.

  Once brought ashore by the Silver Muna at Station New York, the two received medical assessments and were able to reunite with their family and friends.
