CGs Searching For Missing Cat

The Phillipine and U.S. Coast Guards are searching for the 38-ft catamaran Pineapple, which left Guam two weeks ago headed for the island of Cebu. Four men and a woman — one of which is a Filipino American and member of the U.S. Air Force — were reportedly aboard the boat. The Pacific Daily News is reporting that the boat lacks "long-distance communication equipment," which has hampered the search that came at the behest of concerned family members. Although the roughly 1,500-mile passage was south of it, there was a 934 mb low in the northwestern Pacific earlier in the week that reportedly created a sizable sea state in the area.
