Crew members of a Carnival cruise ship rescued two men stranded in the Gulf of Mexico after their boat sank, using a kayak to stay afloat. The men were brought aboard the Carnival Jubilee, evaluated by medical staff, and provided with first aid, food, and water. The cruise ship continued its voyage to Mahogany Bay, Roatan after the rescue. This marks the second time in a little over a month that a Carnival ship has saved people stranded at sea, with a previous rescue of six men off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
The search for a 50-year-old man who went missing while helping two distressed kayakers in the water near Notte Park in Lincoln, Rhode Island has been suspended and will resume on Monday morning. The man was able to assist the kayakers to safety but did not resurface himself, prompting the search to transition from a rescue to a recovery mission.
The bodies of Chuck and Charley Morris, who went missing while kayaking on Beaver Lake in Arkansas, have been found after 24 days of search efforts. The father-son duo were reported missing on March 16, and a kayak and life jacket were found early on in the search. The recovery was made possible by the use of technology and efforts by personnel from various organizations. The Benton County Sheriff's Office expressed gratitude to all those who helped in the search and recovery efforts.
