Five Micronesians spent nearly three months adrift in the Pacific Ocean before their boat washed ashore on Fanning Island in Kiribati, a Pacific island nation, about 5,400 km from their home, The Daily Mail reported.

According to the newspaper, a group of nine people set out in late July from Murilo Island in Micronesia, a group of islands in the western Pacific Ocean, to the neighboring island of Ruou. The journey was expected to take no more than an hour. However, the boat was caught in a storm and blown off course. The group drifted across the Pacific for about three months, covering around 5,400 km, before the boat washed ashore on Fanning Island in Kiribati.
