The 61-year-old fisherman was found by an Ecuadorian ship after 94 days of drifting at sea. The small boats were flowed deep into the Pacific Ocean due to sudden changes in weather conditions. The man went on desperately, hoping to return. He survived thanks to the nourishment of what he managed to catch.

In an interview with local media, the man admitted that he drank rainwater and nourished cockroaches and birds to survive. If only he could even hunt turtles.
