ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities say one more person from a migrant boat shipwreck has been found alive, bringing the total number of survivors to 11 from the sailboat that capsized and sank in rough seas east of Athens with reportedly 68 people on board. A search and rescue operation continues in the treacherous Kafireas Strait between the islands of Evia and Andros. A coast guard patrol boat recovered the body of a man from the area on Wednesday morning, the only confirmed fatality from the sinking. The survivors, all men, include six Egyptians, three Afghans and two Iranians. A separate search and rescue operation continues for a third day in the eastern Aegean off the island of Samos, near Turkey, for seven people missing after a dinghy carrying 12 capsized Monday.
