Tuna boat rescued five adrift fishermen in Galapagos

Five fishermen, lost at sea for 55 days, were rescued and arrived in the Galapagos Islands on Saturday. The Ecuadorian navy confirmed their safe arrival after they were found by a tuna boat. The five men, from Peru and Colombia, had been missing since mid-March after their boat's alternator failed shortly after departing from Peru. They were rescued on May 7th by an Ecuadorian vessel. The navy is coordinating their return to their home countries. This rescue follows a similar incident earlier this year involving a Peruvian fisherman who survived 95 days adrift.
