An elderly couple is missing after sailing back to Virginia after their boat was damaged by weather while attempting to sail to Portugal, the U.S. Coast Guard announced on Tuesday.
Nikopoulos and Jones left Hampton, Virginia, on June 8 for the Azores Islands, a mid-Atlantic archipelago about 800 mi (1,287 kilometers) west of Portugal, the Coast Guard said. But five days later, the pair told Jones’ daughter that heavy weather damaged their vessel and they were returning to Hampton, the Coast Guard said.
