The fishing boat belonging to an Oceanside couple who went missing at sea this week has washed up on the beach near Rosarito, Mexico, authorities said Saturday, and the search for the pair was taken over by the Mexican Navy.

No one was on board the 32-foot boat when it landed ashore Friday north of Rosarito, a beach community 20 miles south of the border, U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jeremy Denning said.

A Coast Guard aerial search for the vessel named Pelican was called off, he said, but the Mexican Navy would continue to search the area off Baja California near where the boat was found. Read more

For weeks, the president and Mrs. Bush kept their lips zipped.

Then on Aug. 15, 2007, Hager rousted Jenna at 4 a.m. to go hiking on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. 'It was freezing,' Jenna recalled. 'But we got up, and we hiked in the dark for an hour and a half, and then when we got towards the top _ with the sunrise _ he asked me.' Read more
