Salvador’s boat disappeared from the Mexican port in the endings of the year 2012; he claimed he had been alive since then for more than a year afloat a 22-foot fiberglass boat in the Pacific. He was expended to Ebon in the Marshall Islands.

He started fishing from the village of Costa Azul on the coast of the Mexican state of Chiapas in December 2012 with another fisherman named Ezequiel. They were pumped up into the ocean by bad weather.

He said that his friend had passed away one month after their disappearance. However, he managed to survive using a diet that included fish, birds and turtles. He used to drink turtles’ blood and rain water to satisfy his thirst.

Jaime Marroquin, an official from the Chiapas rescue services approved that the boat was really missing from 17 November 2012. Also, he added that the boat owner reported its disappearance and he mentioned Salvador’s name.  He also confirmed the bad weather and Salvador’s companion age and description.

The report written by officials said that the lost fishermen are called Cirilo Vargas and Ezequiel Córdova. Both are reported to be 38 of age. Salvador’s companion was said to be a teenager. However, it is claimed that the Mexican report contained some errors. Alvaernga’s name was not written down in the report but his 37 age was noted.

Marroqui added that the master of the boat said Alvarenga is from Salvador and there was no one following the search process from his family. However, Salvador’s father was always following the operation in the landing strip.

After leaving the hospital, Salvador stayed in a hotel room in the capital of the Marshall Islands.  Before that he had a haircut and shaved his face. This was paid by the American Embassy in Marshall Islands.

According to the Associated Press, local fishermen said that Alvarenga worked in their area for years but he had disappeared in the mid-November. They did know his real name and they called him only La Chancha which means pig in the slang language.

Alvarenga is from a coastal town in El Salvador called Garita Palmera, near the border with Guatemala. He moved to Mexico and lived there for 15 years.

His family lost contact with him eight years ago because he was not visiting them. They said that he moved to Chipas as he liked to work in on shark fishing boats based there. This news was reported by the The Salvadoran newspaper El Mundo.

His daughter told the paper she was looking forward to seeing her father again. She reportedly said: “The first thing I’ll do is hug him and kiss him.”

“I was going to kill myself. I wanted to kill myself but no, I asked God to save me.” Alvarenga told the Telemundo TV network. He cried a lot when he spoke to his family and sometimes as he said he was thinking even of committing a suicide.

In a statement, El Salvador’s foreign ministry said that there was coordination between the Mexican authorities and for this reason Salvador passed firstly by Mexico and his country afterwards. Anjane Kattil, a spokesman from the foreign affairs ministry said “According to the doctors his immune system is weak, but not as weak as we expected.”

Fishermen were left astonished. They were just scratching their heads because it’s unbelievable to keep alive in a very long sea just with a simple diet and without any cover in a small boat.  They said “it’s incredible to survive that long,” The owner of the boat has expressed his astonishment aswell and he said There was a case from around here of fishermen who survived 27 days before they were rescued by a Japanese ship but it’s hard to think how anybody could go more than six or seven months without getting scurvy at least.”

The story of Alvarenga has left many astonished, but others are critical as they are making theories to clarify how he has sailed 6,200 miles of open ocean to arrive on the Marshall Islands.

One of the persons to question this is the American Ambassador in Majuro, Tom Armbruster who told the Associated Press the following: “It’s hard for me to imagine someone surviving 13 months at sea’’. “But it is also hard to imagine how someone might arrive on Ebon out of the blue.” Added the Ambassador.
