Desperate search for Virginia couple, both 65, who vanished off radar nine days ago after sailing for the Azores off Portugal before boat got damaged 460 miles off US coast

• Yanni Nikopoulos and Dale Jones, both 65, were last heard from on June 17 when they let their daughter know their sailboat had been damaged in ‘heavy weather’
•  The pair had left from Hampton, Virginia, on June 8 for the approximately 2,300 mile journey across the ocean to the islands off the coast of Portugal
•  The Coast Guard has sent two aircraft to search an approximate area they think the boaters could be, but have not reported seeing any signs of them
