| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong currents generated by a rising tide were present across the south coast of Guam. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | On the morning of December 5th a small group of men went Spearfishing along the south coast of Guam. A member of the group, a 38 year old male, became separated|from the rest. A partner of the fisherman stated that he heard the man cry for help. As the members of the group did not have adequate lighting equipment, they could not locate him. He was reported overdue at 3:45 a.m., and unfortunately the body |of the fisherman, Darwin Timothy, was found alone on the west side of Achang Bay on the south shore of Guam at 6:30 a.m. ||At the time of the incident, the tide was incoming. The Merizo Mayor stated in a KUAM news interview that the currents will go toward Cocos island when the tide comes in. It was reported that the men were not from this area, and probably were not familiar with the local currents. |
