A 61-year-old Peruvian fisherman has been found alive after being lost at sea for 95 days. Máximo Napa Castro set off on his fishing boat from Marcona in December but was swept off course by bad weather. He was rescued by an Ecuadorian fishing boat in March and is now recovering in a hospital in northern Peru.
According to reports, Castro survived by drinking rainwater and eating insects, birds, and a turtle. During his ordeal, he thought about his family, particularly his mother and newborn granddaughter, to keep himself alive. His daughter Inés Napa Torres expressed gratitude to the Ecuadorian fishermen who saved her father’s life.
Castro’s family had been searching for him for three months, with his grandmother describing their situation as “anguish.” Castro has since received medical checks and was discharged from the hospital on Saturday. The fisherman’s family is now focusing on recovery and rebuilding their lives after this harrowing experience.
