MISSING FISHERMAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 95 DAYS AT SEA

A Peruvian fisherman who set off for a trip in early December has been found alive and well. Máximo Castro, 61, was missing for 95 days in the Pacific Ocean. A trip that was meant to last two weeks turned into three months when a storm blew him off course 10 days into the trip. Last week, an Ecuadorian patrol boat found Castro on the verge of death in his boat, 680 miles away from land. He had packed enough food to last for two weeks but ran out 14 days before he was found. To stay alive, Castro said he ate birds, cockroaches and turtles. He was found heavily dehydrated and in a critical condition at the time of his rescue. “I did not want to die,” he said. “I had a granddaughter who is a few months old, I held on to her. Every day I thought of my mother.”
* But mostly, he said, “Don’t tell me about White Lotus season three. I want to watch it from the beginning.”
* Every day he thought of his granddaughter and his mother. I bet he was also thinking about a flare gun and a radio.
* He’s also really annoyed he wasn’t rescued by a cruise ship like all those other lost fishermen.
* Birds, cockroaches and turtles. Let’s see… what else could a FISHerman have eaten? Hmmm…quite the puzzler.
