In the Pacific, fishermen rescued their colleague from the island state of Kiribati, who spent more than three months in the ocean.
Due to engine breakdown from May to September, he waited to be discovered. His friend could not stand the harsh conditions and died on July 4. It is noteworthy that the rescued fisherman first of all asked not for water, as usually happens in such cases, but for a smoke.
A fisherman named Toakai Teitoi was rescued on September 11th. According to him, on May 28, he and his partner went to sea to fish. Their engine failed, and the fishermen were captured by the ocean for 106 days. To the surprise of the doctors, the fisherman endured a severe ordeal with relatively no losses to the body.
Teita spent only 106 days in the Pacific Ocean, but did not break the record. His compatriots in 1992 were lost in these waters for 177 days.
In the Pacific Ocean, boats with people have been lost more than once: two years ago, three teenagers spent 50 days at sea and were found near the Tokelau Islands, which are located between Hawaii and New Zealand. The young men were severely malnourished and suffered severe skin burns from the scorching sun.
