Mexican fishermen found after 11 months at sea | International News | Reuters.com

re: despite the headline, it's not at all sure yet how long the fishermen were at sea. They were picked up by "a Taiwanese tuna fishing trawler in waters between the Marshall Islands and Kiribati on August 9" and there's a serious language barrier and things are still getting sorted out. At any rate, reports at this time are that they got into trouble off Mexico some months back (three? nine? who knows?) and are very skinny and very hungry...
