The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two boaters who were adrift in a sailboat 77 miles off the California coast on Sept. 23, according to Coast Guard officials.

The boaters were on the sailboat Annie when they sustained damage from multiple storms nearly 80 miles southwest of Half Moon Bay, and initiated a distress signal through their Garmin GPS device, Coast Guard officials said.
