The incidents described in this account happened as early as November 17, 2012.
José Alvarenga, a 36-year-old Mexican fisherman, paid Cordoba, a 22-year-old, $50 to take him fishing off the coast of Mexico in his boat.
However, the men were lost in a storm and ended up in the middle of the sea. They were forced to consume fish, birds, turtle blood, and even pee.
However, Cordoba was unable to endure such hardships and eventually passed away due to health issues.
José claimed that he kept his friend’s body for six days in order to avoid being alone, but he eventually threw it into the mother.
The fisherman made an all-out effort to save his life. The man claimed that while he was drifting for many months, he was forced to consume fish and birds that he had to catch with his own hands.
Jose Alvarenga survived 438 days in the ocean with little pain. Alvarenga is capable of traveling up to 10,800 kilometers.
Its trip started on November 17, 2012, off the coast of Mexico, and ended on January 30, 2014, when the Marshall Islands’ locals found it on one of their atolls.
The body of the “traveler” had not sustained any major wounds, according to medical investigations.
Alvarenga soon discovered that he was healthy and content. José Alvarenga most likely made it through because of his optimism.
