MEXICO CITY (AP) - Three Mexican fishermen who claim they set out months ago from Mexico's western coast have been rescued near the Marshall Islands — 5,500 miles to the west — after surviving on rain water and raw fish.
Eugene Muller, manager of Koo's Fishing Co., said by phone Tuesday that the company's boat picked up the three on Aug. 9. Muller said the men were recovering and would be brought back to Majuro, the islands' capital, in 10 to 14 days.
"We fished, and we ate the fish raw ... because there was no fire to cook with," survivor Jesus Vidana, 27, told Mexico's Televisa news network in a telephone hook-up to the ship's communications system.
