BBC News posted a report of seven men surviving two months lost in the ocean.
Two of them, unfortunately were not able to see land, as they died after being rescued, before they arrived to the hospital.
"The group - initially of eight men - told rescuers they had been making a short crossing in PNG's New Ireland area on 14 September when they ran out of petrol."
They ate drifting coconuts and crabs to survive, but the article does not give many details regarding what they drank and what the conditions were when they were found.
It is a terrible experience, that is for sure, as one person died when he jumped in the water to rescue some clothes and was unable to get back to the boat, while the rest of the crew did not have the strength to save him either.
I wish the survivors, all men from Papua New Guinea, the best both mentally and physically.
