"A northern Arizona family that was lost at sea for weeks in an ill-fated attempt to leave the U.S. over what they consider government interference in religion will fly back home Sunday.

"Hannah Gastonguay, 26, said Saturday that she and her husband 'decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us' when they took their two small children and her father-in-law and set sail from San Diego for the tiny island nation of Kiribati in May.

"But just weeks into their journey, the Gastonguays hit a series of storms that damaged their small boat, leaving them adrift for weeks, unable to make progress. They were eventually picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel, transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and taken to Chile where they are resting in a hotel in the port city of San Antonio."
