How to survive at sea for 9 months

I saw this in the newspaper yesterday, about how they found this 3 Mexican fishermen drifting aimlessly in the Pacific Ocean after being lost for 9 months! Of course, their families have presumed them dead. But yesterday’s news was sketchy and didn’t really reported how they survived.

So I checked on Reuters today and found the updated news. It seems that they ate raw birds, seagulls and fish. Luckily they didn’t eat their rescuers cuz you know lah, drifting alone with those waves might give you hallucinations.

“We ate raw fish, ducks, sea gulls. We took down any bird that landed on our boat and we ate it like that, raw,” Jesus Vidana, one of the three survivors, said in a Mexican radio interview from the ship that rescued them.

I think if you have any plans to go on the high-seas, you better get yourself ready for any possibility by eating raw ducks and fish. Also not forgetting to learn some kung-fu as you need fast hands to catch those birds landing on your boat.

Anyway, these 3 fishermen can sell their story to many of the idea-hungy Hollywood producers so they can make a movie.
