Angela Sue Lucas booked a two-day getaway for her 40th birthday in July 2020 at Club DLuxx, an Airbnb run by Dennis Peter Weisse in North Fort Myers, Fla. Or, so she thought. “I refused her reservation,” said Mr. Weisse, 70, who was nicknamed DLuxx by a high school buddy. “I have other guests staying at Club DLuxx and it wouldn’t be fair.” The house is Mr. Weisse’s home, out of which he rents two rooms. The next day, Ms. Lucas, 43, who goes by Angie, set him straight. “I was excited about my birthday staycation,” replied Ms. Lucas, who was looking for a quiet solo escape in early pandemic times.

The arrival of the first wave, smashing against the wooden boat, set off a desperate scramble for gear: knives, warm clothing, headlamps, water. The second wave sent the passengers diving overboard, as the boat tipped forward into the ocean. But a storm swept through, knocking the boat off course and ultimately scuttling the vessel. “When the first one came in, Jordy was like, ‘All right, guys, this could be serious,’” Mr. Foote said in a video posted to social media. Multiple Australian and Indonesian crews led the effort, with assistance from local fishermen, private vessels and even a private airplane chartered by family members and the Australian government.

Twenty more research programs are under way and could yield treatments ready to move into human testing in the next several years, according to Allyson Berent-Weisse, chief scientific officer of the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics, or FAST, and the mother of a child with the disorder.
