A fisherman from Peru, who was found alive after spending 95 days in the Pacific Ocean, said that he ate Rosh, birds and sea turtles to survive.
Maximo NAPA was heavyly dehydrated and in a serious condition when he was discovered by an Ecuadorian fishing patrol at a distance of about 680 miles from the coast of Peru last Wednesday, according to the Reuters. He originally left a city Markona on the southern coast of Peru for a fishing journey on 7 December.
“I did not want to die,” NAPA told Reuters. “I ate Rosh, bird, the last thing I ate was a turtle.”
“I thought of my mother every day,” he said. “I am grateful to God for giving me a second chance.”
