Five Micronesians spent nearly three months adrift in the Pacific Ocean before their boat washed ashore on Fanning Island in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, about 5,400 km from their home, the Daily Mail reported. According to the newspaper, a group of nine people left at the end of July from Murillo Island in Micronesia, a group of islands in the western Pacific Ocean, to the neighboring island of Roo. The trip was expected to take no more than an hour. However, the boat ran into a storm and went off course. The group drifted across the Pacific Ocean for about three months, covering about 5,400 km, before the boat washed ashore on Fanning Island in Kiribati.
