For the third day the Internet flies news of the return of crazy – American fisherman sailed into the sea 66 days and returned to the boat flooded home safe and sound. Louis Jordan as we know, came out into the open sea to fish for more than two months ago. And after more than two months after his disappearance, he was found on an upturned boat utseleevshim. But how did he survive?
January 23 from the small town of Conway, that in South Carolina, thirty seven year old American, Louis Jordan, on his yacht went fishing. Head of the family promised to bring his family very big fish, for what, and went to the open sea.
fisherman himself says that the first day there was a storm and polamalas mast of the ship, from the time the yacht filled smoothly water. January 29 family announced Louis missing, but the search for the Coast Guard did not succeed. No one could not hope for a miracle, but it happened – the sixty-sixth day three hundred and twenty kilometers from the coast of North Carolina German ship found the wreckage of the boat, which was and Jordan.
Missing Louis surveyed physicians, and then concluded – no be deviation from normal vital signs men do not. Oddly enough, they found no depletion, no sunburn or dehydration. Navigator maintains that ate only raw fish and drank sea water.
The Coast Guard commented on the situation: “We’re not disputing the veracity of this situation, but for sixty-six days people would be more exhausted than Jordan now . We’re not sure that he spent in the open sea that is the number of days. “
Louis Jordan says he collects rainwater and drank about a pint a day (568 ml). Professor Tipton says it’s a little more than necessary for survival, that is 300-500 ml of water per day. “So much water is required to kidneys and other vital organs continue to work. Without it, you would not last a couple of days,” – said the professor.
Another available source of fluid under these conditions – it is the blood of sea turtles or birds. Of the 20-pound turtle can be learned about a liter of blood.
66 days at sea – it is only a small fraction of the time that is spent in the Pacific Mexican Jose Salvador Alvarenga. The man was in the water as long as 13 months. Threw him to the land only in his underwear only after 440 days, for which he sailed 6,000 miles. The man told me that he was able to survive thanks to raw fish and sea turtle blood, which he drank water instead.
It’s incredible, such a return has never been done. In conclusion, this shocking novsoti, I would like to tell you the common elements of survival in the open sea or ocean, which you can use for some time to “stay afloat”.
Use Survival Tips on the high seas
Clouds and some distinct reflection in the sky are the most reliable indicators of a ground proximity inform warning.dp.ua. Small clouds hovering over the atolls and can hang over the coral formations and hidden reefs. Fixed clouds or clouds crests often appear around the top of hilly islands or shoreline. They are easy to learn, since moving clouds pass by them. Another indicator of air are lightning and reflection. In certain areas of lightning in the early morning indicates mountain range, especially in the tropics. In the polar regions is strictly delineated bright spot against the gray sky is a sign of hummocky ice fields and coastal ice in the middle of the free water.
Sounds from the ground could come from sea birds, ships or other floating equipment noise of civilization, explains fisechko .ru. Increase in the number of birds and insects indicates proximity shore. Algae in shallow water may also indicate that a land. The proximity of the land also indicate odors by the wind over very long distances.
This fact is important to keep in mind when going swimming in heavy fog or at night. The emergence of a large number of floating wood debris and vegetation is closer to the shore, writes trasa.ru.
Wind and will endure for a raft or boat. Use them if they move the raft in the right direction. To use the wind, fully inflate the raft and sit down at him higher. Raise the anchor and set sail. Use the paddle as a rudder. If the wind blows in the opposite direction, lower the anchor and crouch down over the flesh, to reduce the resistance. Do not put the sail when there is no land. For should not pose a problem, as the high seas, it rarely moves at a distance more than 6-8 miles a day.
