Fishermen love to tell tales - some that push the bounds of credibility. But the story that three Mexican fishermen discovered drifting in the Pacific told their rescuers was remarkable even by those standards.
After having engine problems soon after they left their home port, it seems the men were steadily pushed west across the ocean and were lost for 11 months. They apparently survived on a diet of rainwater, raw fish and seabirds. "We fished, and we ate the fish raw ... because there was no fire to cook with," Jesus Vidana, 27, told Mexico's Televisa news network.
