  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2017
  • Alvarenga survived 438 days adrift in the Pacific Ocean, drifting 7000 miles from just off Mexico, to the Marshall Islands. His open 24' fiberglass boat was disabled in a storm and nearly all his gear was swept overboard, disabled or had to be cut loose to keep the boat from sinking.
    His story is way beyond ordinary, and now he's sharing it in this exclusive interview for Survivopedia readers.

    After six months he just didn't think about home but in his mind he belonged to the sea and just had to do what was necessary to survive each day at a time. That's an incredible mindset. Be grateful for surviving even one more day! ❤

    The book that was written about this man's survival story is absolutely gripping. Just about anyone else would have failed to live as long as he did. He was a fisherman and understood how to catch food without the right gear. And he had a tremendous amount of faith. Plus it gives the perspective of the others involved, including those who went to look for him, and the person that found him in the Marshall Islands.

    This man dealt with a lot of shit after surviving being lost at sea. People calling him a lier just because he (his face) looked a bit chubby. And then the family of his partner accusing him of cannibalism even though there was never any proof of it and then have news articles slamming alot of negativity at him. I don't see anyway what he went through would be faked at all. People are always trying to go after anyone. I feel sorry for what he went through.

      Bueno no, hombre, si el español es tu lengua materna te das cuenta que traducir a este hombre es muy dificil, sólo se puede traducir la idea porque si vas a palabra por palabra, no se entiende nada. Incluso nosotros hacemos un esfuerzo para entenderlo.Yo no ví ninguna diferencia en la idea. Con respecto a las palabras claro que sí porque Salvador se ve que es un hombre poco instruido, no sabe ni hablar, yo he visto otros videos y cómo traducis " gomitos"? No dice vómitos, dice gomistos. No.lo critico , sólo digo que a para alguien cuya lengua materno no es el español se le debe hacer muy dificil traducirlo, para nosotros es muy fácil pero ponete en el lugar de la persona que hizo la traducción. A veces conviene dejar de mirarse eo ombligo y ver las cosas desde el punto de vista de realidades diferentes.
