Couple Rescued By Cruise Ship

The Seattle couple Christopher Miller and Brandy Meissner, along with their two dogs, were recently rescued from their 38-foot fishing boat in 40-foot seas by Princess Cruises' Golden Princess, according to Vagabondish. It's one of the largest cruise ships in the world.

The couple had been trying to cross from Seattle to Hawaii to start their own commercial fishing business. They are currently trying to track down what's left of their boat.

You can see a gallery of photos from the rescue on Seattle's local news station King5's website.

Hawaiian Volcano Cruise

The Golden Princess was on its way to Hilo when the Coast Guard sent word that two people were stranded in their boat about 400 miles east of Hawaii. The man and woman, from Washington, ran into bad weather and started to run out of fuel. The cruise ship diverted and pulled them all to safety.
