YOUNG MEN AND THE SEA

Unbelievable!

After going missing following a sporting event in October, and after several unsuccessful searches by New Zealand's air force, they were presumed dead. About 500 people on the island held a memorial service for them. But for Samuel Perez and Filo Filo, both 15, and Edward Nasau, 14, this story ended in the most unbelievable way - being rescued by a tuna ship near Fiji after 50 days at sea...the three survived with limited supply. They shared a single raw seagull and drank a tiny bit of rainwater. They eventually resorted to drinking small amounts of sea water

Incredible.

crazy, almost 2 months at sea...wow

unbelievable. Amazing story. Thanks for the article Marble.

Extraordinary.

Amazing story. I heard an interview last night on CBC with the first mate of that tuna ship - just pure luck they happened to run across these kids. Completely improbable that'd be found; even moreso that they'd still be alive.
