When Delroy Ferguson set out on a fishing trip off the Caribbean shore of Cahuita Wednesday, he didn't know it would be his last. Rough waters overtaking his small fishing boat left this Costa Rican who had U.S. citizenship stranded at sea, according to Public Security Ministry spokeswoman Marielos Barboza.
Costa Rican Coast Guard officials yesterday brought Ferguson's body to shore. His two fishing partners, Ticos identified by the last names Johnson and Wright, survived the accident by swimming toward the shore and being rescued by the Coast Guard.
The group got into trouble when they found themselves four kilometers out at sea in rough waters that filled and sank the boat.
Ferguson lived in the U.S. state of Connecticut and had been in Costa Rica two weeks visiting family when the accident occurred, according to the daily La Nación. He planned to return to the United States today. |
