Máximo Napa Castro, a 61-year-old Peruvian fisherman, was found alive after 95 days lost at sea. He faced severe dehydration but survived by drinking rainwater and consuming insects, birds, and a turtle. His daughter expressed gratitude towards the Ecuadorian fishermen who rescued him, acknowledging the anguish her family endured during the search. Napa Castro drew strength from thoughts of his family, particularly his mother and granddaughter, which kept him motivated to survive despite facing dire conditions.
I said I didn't want to die for my mother. I had a granddaughter who is a few months old, I held on to her. Every day I thought of my mother.
Every day is anguish for the whole family and I understand my grandmother's pain because as a mother I understand her (...) We never thought we would go through this situation.
