In a remarkable survival story, Máximo Napa Castro has returned home after spending 95 harrowing days lost at sea, adrift since December 7. The 61-year-old fisherman set off from Marcona, Peru, and found himself at the mercy of the vast ocean when his boat became stranded. He faced the unimaginable, relying on his faith and resourcefulness to endure. Without adequate supplies, he survived on cockroaches, birds, and eventually a turtle, whose blood he took to quench his thirst. Throughout his ordeal, he communicated with God, grappling with despair while holding onto the hope that rescue would come. His prayers were answered on March 12 when the crew of an Ecuadorian tuna boat spotted him hundreds of miles from shore. After weeks of uncertainty and isolation, Máximo was finally reunited with his family, a poignant reminder of human strength in the face of adversity.
