16-Year-Old Sailor Feared Lost at Sea

The parents of a 16-year-old girl who was attempting an around-the-world solo sailing trip and who now is feared lost at sea have posted an update on the rescue effort to reach their daughter.

Laurence and Marianne Sunderland say that the earliest possible point at which a ship might reach their daughter, Abby, is 40 hours away (as of early Thursday afternoon, ET). They also say that they are actively seeking out some sort of air rescue but add that "this is difficult due to the remoteness of her location."
