3 Mexican fishermen survive 9 months at sea
Five Mexican fishermen set out to sea in October 1995. Three have just made it back after more than nine months at sea. They survived by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish and birds, including seagulls and ducks. Two of the five did not survive. More than nine months after setting out on the Pacific ocean to hunt shark, the three Mexicans were rescued by Tiawanese fishermen just days ago. Some news media claim that the men are not fishermen and have made up the story as cover for their drug smuggling operations. Who knows, but it’s still an interesting story. Lot’s of people I’ve talked to say they’d never eat raw fish/birds, but after about 3 weeks at sea with nothing to eat, I think I’d go for some raw fish. Think of it as Sushi. If you want to read more, there are plenty of news stories.
