Nicaragua rescue crews find capsized boat

Rescue crews in Nicaragua say they have found a fishing boat that capsized in the Caribbean last week with 50 people aboard.

 

Eighteen fishermen who were aboard the lobster boat MN WaywardWind remain missing. It overturned about 35 nautical miles (65 kilometers) southeast of Puerto Cabezas.

 

Vilma Garcia, the wife of one of eight men rescued Friday, said her husband Porfilio Levy suffered dehydration and severe sunburn and died a day later. She said Sunday that the 36-year-old had been a fisherman for five years.

 

The boat was on a 15-day trip when it was hit by a huge wave Tuesday.
