An 86-year-old sailor who spent nearly two months lost at sea with his one-eyed dog says he has no regrets about the ill-fated 5,000-mile Pacific adventure — because it was the final item on his bucket list. Harry Blodgett and his four-legged first mate, Sasha, were miraculously rescued nearly 500 miles off the San Diego coast last month after disappearing during a voyage from Oregon to the South Pacific. 5 A hill overlooks the island in Pago Pago, American Samoa, on Saturday, March 5, 2016.
