Arrr, matey! A Peruvian sea dog be tellin’ tales of munchin’ on roaches, feathered fowl, and even turtles whilst adrift in the mighty Pacific for a bonkers 95 days! Blimey, what a feast fit for a scallywag, 'tis a wonder he didn’t turn into a sea critter himself!
Arrr mateys! Gather ‘round and lend yer ears to the tale of one brave Peruvian fisherman, Maximo Napa, who found himself adrift like a wayward ship for a staggering 95 days upon the vast Pacific! This scallywag set sail from Marcona on a fateful fishing expedition but was tossed about by storms, endin’ up 680 miles from home, with naught but the sea to keep him company.By thunder, what did our hero subsist upon during his ordeal, ye ask? Why, roaches, birds, and even the noble sea turtle! Maximo, blessed with the spirit of a true pirate, declared, “I did not want to die!” and thought of his dear mother each day while munchin’ on his unusual fare. With a heart full of hope and a belly too often empty, he drank rainwater collected on his tiny vessel, though he eventually faced the grim reality of 15 whole days without a bite!
Lucky for him, fate smiled as he was rescued by an Ecuadorian fishing patrol. With family awaitin’ and the spirits of his daughters’ faith to guide him home, he landed upon solid ground in Paita, where he’ll soon be checkin’ in with the doc. A toast to Maximo, the sea’s unyieldin’ survivor! Yarrr!
