Peruvian fisherman rescued after 95 days lost at sea

ai generated text

Máximo Napa Castro, a 61-year-old Peruvian fisherman, was rescued after being lost at sea for 95 days. He departed from Marcona on December 7 but became disoriented due to bad weather and drifted away from his course. Castro was eventually spotted by an Ecuadorian fishing boat in northern Peru, where he was found severely dehydrated. He survived for nearly three months by eating cockroaches, birds, and a turtle, and was taken on board the Ecuadorian vessel for medical treatment.

    1. I didn't want to die, for my mother. I have a two-month-old granddaughter – I clung to that. Every day I thought about my mother.

    1. Thank you, Ecuadorian brothers, for rescuing my dad Gatón, God bless you.
    2. It is a miracle that my father has been found.
    3. Every day is anguish for the whole family and I understand my grandmother's pain because as a mother I understand her (…) We never thought we would go through this situation, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, we will not lose hope, Dad, of finding you.
