Seabirds, Rain Kept Men Alive for 9 Months - Los Angeles Times
I enjoyed this happy ending in the LA Times this morning. Amid all the news of people doing horrible things to each other, there was this one story about some Mexican fishermen who survived against all the odds. Their families had given them up for dead, and they all three turned up alive halfway to Australia. Adrift for 9 months! Boggles the mind. I figure those must be some very easy going guys to have endured each other's company for that long - even while they were starving nearly to death.
I hope somebody writes a best seller and makes these boys rich. Too bad I'm unable to dash off to Mexico and interview them myself...
