Police in the Bahamas are searching for an American woman who disappeared after reportedly falling overboard from a small boat while vacationing with her husband.
Her husband told authorities that she went missing on Saturday at about 19:30 local time (00:30 BST) after falling out of an 8ft (2.4m) hard-bottom dinghy and being swept out to sea by strong currents.
The woman's husband told police that he and his wife left Hope Town for Elbow Cay on the Bahamian island of Abaco on Saturday evening when she fell overboard, taking the boat's keys with her.
In a statement on social media, Royal Bahamas Police Force said it is investigating and multiple agencies are searching for the woman.
"She apparently bounced out of the boat," Hope Town Volunteer Fire and Rescue chief Troy Pritchard told CBS News, the BBC's US news partner.
