U.S. Navy Ship on the Trail of Hijacked Yacht

Somali Pirates off the coast of Oman last week hijacked the yacht of an Orange County couple who've been sailing around the world since 2002 handing out Bibles. At the time of the hijacking, Jean and Scott Adam were joined on their boat (called the Quest) by Phyllis Mackay and Rob Riggle of Seattle.

The U.S. Navy is now hot on the trail of the Quest, according to the New York Daily News.

The Adams have a website where they've been tracking their voyage for friends and family. According to the site, they've so far been to places like Fiji, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Borneo, Malaysia, and China (just to name a few). Jean Adam runs the site, and calls the reason for their voyage "friendship evangelism."
