Surely a commercial fisherman would have equipment to catch fish with, yet none was mentioned. |
"By Alvarenga's account, he survived more than 14 months adrift by eating birds, fish and turtles he caught with his hands. He quenched his thirst with rainwater and even his own urine, he said."
his hands..... but yes there are some questions surrounding his story... also, not sure how many spanish speaking people are interpreting what he is saying... interpretation.... a inventory of his boat would be cool to look at but unlikely.
I use "hand" lines and do quite well.... he as a shark fisherman may have used hand lines... interpretation may be in correct.
