Fisherman found alive after 95 DAYS at sea reveals how he survived after being blown off course in huge storm
A Peruvian fisherman who spent 95 days lost at sea in the Pacific Ocean has told how he ate roaches, birds and sea turtles to survive.
Máximo Napa Castro, 61, had set off for a fishing trip from Marcona, a town on the southern Peruvian coast, on December 7.
He packed enough food for a two week trip but ten days in, stormy weather threw his boat off course and he ended up adrift in the Pacific.
His family launched a search but Peru’s maritime patrols were unable to locate him until last Wednesday when an Ecuadorian fishing patrol discovered him some 680 miles off the coast, heavily dehydrated and in critical condition.
