Two people have been rescued from an uninhabited Pacific island after a US Navy helicopter spotted their SOS sign.
The pilots spotted the sign drawn into sand on East Fayu Island in Micronesia and alerted the US Coast Guard.
It followed a week-long search for Linus and Sabina Jack, both in their 50s, who were reported missing when they failed to reach a nearby island.
The couple left Weno Island with limited supplies and no emergency equipment, the Navy said.

Great story, sail. Turns out they had been spotted by a ship, who alerted the Navy.

Hawaii News Now says that on Wednesday, a ship noticed flashing lights from the uninhabited Chuuk State island where the two were later found. The U.S. Navy was alerted and spotted the survivors on the beach.

It has been a fantasy of mine to be stranded on a tropical island with a boatload of only good looking, heterosexual women....I would be careful that no SOS signs are made............ :hooray:

Irresponsible by that couple to bring themselves in that dangerous a situation.
