-- Two sailors who were stranded at sea with their dog for 10 days were set to be reunited with their families in New York City on Wednesday night.
They were on a cargo ship in New York Harbor, as the Coast Guard prepared to bring them to the Staten Island shore. Joe DiTommasso, 76, Kevin Hyde, 64, and their dog were traveling from Cape May, New Jersey, to Florida when they ran out of fuel and power. The men were able to flag down the cargo ship from Hong Kong about 200 miles east of Delaware on Tuesday."My dad's notorious for losing his cellphone and the charger, so in the beginning, we weren't super stressed. We just thought, 'Oh typical dad,'" one daughter said.
"So, of course, we've got a lot of questions, and I'm sure my dad will be telling the full story about for years to come. But most importantly, we are just so happy and grateful that he is safe," the other added.
