“Lost Souls or Lingering Secrets? Coast Guard Discovers Mysterious Life Signs on Abandoned Island!”
So They Communicated Through Radio
When the Coast Guard sent down a radio, they received snippets of the survivors’ story. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have any fluent Spanish speakers,” Ltd. Beecher said. “But in my broken Spanish, I was able to discern that they were from Cuba and that they needed medical assistance.
“They made sure to stress that they had been on the island for 33 days.” How the three people managed to survive on that island for over a month remained a mystery.
They Debated Over What To Do
At this point, the Coast Guard had few options. They could not land for their safety and the safety of the survivors. The strong winds might have brought a storm, and storms in the Bahamas can be fatal for pilots.
After speaking with home base, Ltd. Beecher decided to return to Miami. Perhaps they couldn’t land right away, but they could give the survivors some supplies. They flew back, knowing that they would return soon.
The Coast Guard Returned With Aid
On that same day, the Coast Guard returned to Anguilla Cay. They brought food, water, and medical supplies. This was likely the first time that the survivors had fresh water in over a month.
Although the survivors seemed to have no injuries, the Coast Guard could never be too careful. They also sent down a radio. With that, they told the survivors that, because of the weather, the Coast Guard could not rescue them until the next day.
