HILO, Hawai'i — A derelict, battered 33-foot sailboat abandoned in rough weather off Costa Rica last year apparently drifted for six months and more than 4,500 miles before it was sighted a few miles off the southwestern coast of the Big Island. A Big Island Fire Department rescue crew was lowered to the deck of the crewless Nautica yacht Chaton De Foi after fishermen on Monday afternoon reported the vessel drifting about three miles off Miloli'i village.
