Man survive 16 months at sea

This news talks about a man alone at the sea who survived for 16 months, more than a year. He survived killing animals and all the things that he found around him and that were able to eat. Jose Salvador Albarengo is the name of this man and that happened to him when he was trying to sail to El Salvador. 

He ate all the animals that he found fish, birds, turtles anything that helps him to stay alive. He killed all these animals with his own hands. When Jose's boat finally arrived to the coast he was so bad, he was totally unable to talk, to walk, he was so thin, with a unhealty aspect and so afraid. He's boat stopped in Ebon Atoll halfway between Hawaii and Australia. He was found by a young anthropologist called Ola Fjedstand who was doing some research in one of those islands.  

The young man that found him said that the boat was so small tha engine was all broken grown over with shells and other sea animals. Jose was with two people on the boat when it set off from Mexico to El Salvador, but the survivor said that they died some months before. Now Jose is improving a lot, he has eaten a lot of food and currently he is able to walk and to move around by himself, fortunetly eventhough Jose has spend a lot of time in the sea in a hard conditions now he is better and healthy. 

In my opinion Jose has been an incredible survivor and he has done a amazing job that I never could do.
