Every few years a story comes out about some Mexican fishermen getting rescued after a few months in the water. This is the longest duration I've ever heard of for an event like this. Yikes!

One of the articles mentioned that two of the men left the boat and just swam away two days into the ordeal. That is very common. I know of one case where a survivor in a raft in the Gulf of Alaska cracked up and left the raft on the first night. The rest were picked up the next morning, less than 24 hours after their boat sank.
I suppose it would be prudent to try to make sure that the missing two men weren't eaten by the others...
