YWAM Sailor Missing after Boat Capsizes

The Coast Guard is searching for a young sailor with the Christian organization Youth With a Mission who has been missing since a boat capsized off Hawaii's big island.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports Aaron Bremner was preparing for a YWAM sailing voyage along the Pacific Islands to offer medical and dental work, water purification, and Bibles to people in need.

The 24-year-old was traveling with other sailors on a 75-foot sailboat off the Kona Coast on Friday in dangerous weather when large waves flipped the boat two or three times.

The four other crew members escaped in a portable raft and made it to shore, but Bremner was sleeping in his berth and they couldn't get to him.
