    After the line anchoring his fishing hut broke, a teenager was stuck at sea for 49 days — with supplies that were meant to last him a week.https://n.pr/2NBoZv5

        Yeah I’m sure he made up the drinking water part to make his story sound more dramatic 🤔🤔

        Or and this scenario is more likely, the writer of this article got it wrong since I read another article that said he caught rain water with his shirt nothing about seawater

        How lonely and terrifying those 49 days must have been. Such a resilitant and clever boy. So happy for him and his family that they are reunited!

        Reminds me of '47 wooden raft named Kon-Tiki. Enjoyed 2012 Oscar nominated film by same name. Thor Heyerdahl wrote a best-selling book chronicling his ocean adventures. View Oscar winning doc. on Kon-Tiki too. This 2018 story is worthy of all of the above.

        No the report says that he filtered sea water through his clothes.. Which I’m not so sure about. And you wouldn’t need to filter rain water.. I mean wouldn’t hurt but wouldn’t need to

        Ok yeah that’s different. Dozens of articles are saying filtered rain seawater through clothes. But rain water would make a lot more sense.
