In de categorie goed nieuws: 3 Mex vissers gered na 9 maanden op een onbestuurbare boot. Hielden zich in leven met regenwater en rauwe vis en vogels. :)

Three Mexican fishermen who spent about nine months drifting across the Pacific Ocean have been rescued.
The three men said they survived on rain water, sea birds and fish after the engine on their eight-metre (25ft) boat broke down.

They were eventually picked up by a Taiwanese tuna trawler close to the Marshall Islands on 9 August.

A trip to catch shark off the Mexican Pacific coast had turned into a 5,000-mile (8,000km) ordeal.

'Twice we almost sank'

The three men, identified as Salvador Ordonez, Jesus Vidana and Lucio Rendon, are all from the Mexican town of San Blas.

Their fibreglass boat, equipped with two 200 horsepower outboard motors, ran into trouble soon after setting out from the Port of Sinaloa.

"We ate raw seagulls, ducks and fish. We ate everything raw - any fish that came near the boat we grabbed it and gulped it down," Jesus Vidana told Televisa channel in an interview late Tuesday.

"We drank rain water because it rained everyday," he said. "Twice we almost sank. The waves washed into the boat and we thought we were going to die."

The three shipwrecked mates took turns reading the Bible and praying together.

Lucio Rendon said they went several months without sighting a ship.

"Then suddenly we saw ships going by and we'd reached the other side [of the Pacific]. We were with the Japanese and Chinese," he said.

Eugene Muller, manager of Koo's Fishing Co Ltd, which owns the trawler that found the men, said details of the ordeal were sketchy because of language difficulties between the fishermen and their rescuers.

But he said there may have been five men on board when the boat set out and that two may have jumped overboard a few days into their ordeal. They were presumed dead.

Mr Muller said the survivors were recovering well and that the boat carrying them would dock as scheduled in the Marshall Islands within two weeks.

9 maanden? dan drijf je op de stromen toch de wereld rond, en niemand zou die opgemerkt hebben?
Ongelooflijk.

Wordt vast een dijk van een film. Ik zie een kruising tussen "Alive", "Cast Away" en "Open Water".

"Mes in het water", met nog een mysterieuze drenkeling die wordt opgepikt. Dat hadden ze beter niet kunnen doen...

Misschien hebben ze die twee anderen wel opgegeten... :hihi:

Als ze het groots aanpakken maken ze er een serie a la Lost van, en bewaren ze die drenkeling voor het tweede seizoen :)
