Fisherman found alive after drifting over 90 days at sea says he survived eating birds, turtles and cockroaches

After an astonishing 94 days adrift in the Pacific, 61-year-old Peruvian fisherman Maximo Napa has been rescued. Discovered by an Ecuadoran vessel near Chimbote, he survived by eating cockroaches, birds, and turtles, driven by thoughts of his mother and granddaughter. Napa’s journey began on December 7, sailing from San Juan de Marcona before rough seas led him off course. He emerged from the ordeal in surprisingly good health. “It’s a miracle,” his daughter expressed, reflecting the family’s unyielding hope. Napa’s story echoes recent tales of survival at sea, inspiring many. His reunion with loved ones symbolizes resilience, as they plan to celebrate his birthday, making up for the lost days at sea.
