The 16-year-old who is attempting to become the youngest sailor to ever circumnavigate the globe was reportedly lost at sea today somewhere in the Indian Ocean after her family lost contact with her.

Engineers on Abby Sunderland’s sailing team told ABC News that two emergency beacons on her boat signalled that she is in trouble.

Abby’s mother, MaryAnne Sunderland, said her daughter manually activated the beacons around 9 a.m.

Her parents also lost satellite phone contact with her, according to a report on grindtv.com.
