A 44-year-old Salvadoran woman was rescued alive in the Ionian Sea near Zakynthos, Greece, after going overboard from Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas. Greek authorities said the search began early on Friday and that she was found floating on a life buoy on Saturday. Most outlets say she was in the water about 20 hours; some say 24 hours or more. According to Greek officials, she told rescuers she had jumped because she “wanted to disembark.” The Greek Coast Guard coordinated the search, which involved a rescue ship, a patrol boat and a helicopter. The cause of her going overboard rests on her account as reported by officials.
