Three boys were rescued at sea after their boat drifted at sea for more than 50 days. This came as a happy surprise to all their family members who had thought them lost and dead at sea. The families had even had a memorial service to say goodbye. But the boys were eventually found alive by a tuna boat fishing crew. The boys were able to stay alive by eating a sea bird and by gathering water in a tarpaulin. This looks short compared to a much longer absence at sea in 2005 when three Mexican fishermen drifted across the Pacific Ocean for nine months. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
