After eleven days on a boat that could not maneuver, three men from Panama were rescued in the Pacific Ocean. They survived thanks to rainwater and coconuts, the Colombian navy said on Friday.
The three men had completed an odyssey of about 600 kilometers, the Colombian navy announced. Accordingly, they were discovered by a Colombian patrol boat 180 nautical miles from the Colombian port city of Buenaventura.

The three men had actually left the coastal town of Veracruz in Panama to use their boat to refuel a fishing boat. On the way back, her engine died, as the 30-year-old rescued person said in a video. From then on the boat was blown away by the wind. They are said to have fed on rainwater and coconuts.
The coconuts floated past their boat, his 27-year-old colleague described in the video. “We fished them out, opened them and ate them.” A Colombian navy spokesman told the AFP news agency that the three men were doing well despite spending so long in the Pacific Ocean. (sda/afp)
