timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Five fishermen, lost at sea for 55 days, were rescued and arrived in the Galapagos Islands on Saturday. The five men, from Peru and Colombia, were found by an Ecuadorian tuna boat after their vessel's alternator failed, disabling navigation and communication tools. They survived by drinking rainwater and seawater and eating fish. The Ecuadorian navy is coordinating their return to their home countries. This rescue echoes a similar incident earlier this year involving another Peruvian fisherman.
