Kevin Hyde and Joe Ditomasso were sailing from New Jersey Florida. But they disappeared after their boat departed North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Dec. 3.

The sailors were rescued Tuesday by the Silver Muna tanker ship off Delaware’s coast.

The sailboat was without fuel and power, and their radios and navigation equipment were inoperable.
