José Salvador Alvarenga is a man who actually survived 438 days lost at sea.
On November 17, 2012, José Salvador Alvarenga, 37, and Ezequiel Córdoba, 22, set out from the small fishing village of Costa Azul on the coast of Mexico to begin a 30-hour deep-sea fishing shift. Their vessel was a seven-metre fibreglass boat containing a refrigerator-sized icebox in which to stash their planned haul of shark, sailfish and marlin. But when a violent storm front began its advance from the north-east, the two men soon found themselves battling five-metre high waves and 100km/h winds. Within hours, both the motor on their boat and their radio had died. Their colleagues launched search and rescue missions for two weeks.
As days turned to weeks, Alvarenga and Córdoba learned to scavenge their food from whatever sources presented themselves. Alvarenga managed to catch fish, turtles, jellyfish, and seabirds with his bare hands, and the pair occasionally salvaged bits of food and plastic refuse floating in the water. They collected drinking water from rainfall when possible, but more frequently were forced to drink turtle blood or their own urine.

According to Alvarenga, Córdoba lost all hope around four months into the voyage after becoming sick from the raw food and eventually died from starvation by refusing to eat. Alvarenga has said that he contemplated suicide for four days after Córdoba died, but that it was his strong Christian faith that ultimately prevented him from doing so. Alvarenga claims that Córdoba made him promise not to eat his corpse when he died, so Alvarenga kept Córdoba's corpse on the boat and even spoke to it. After six days, Alvarenga realized his descent into insanity and threw the corpse overboard. Alvarenga also stated that, while at sea, he frequently dreamed about his favorite foods, as well as his parents.

Alvarenga claimed to have seen numerous transoceanic container ships while drifting alone but was unable to solicit help. He kept track of time by counting the phases of the moon.[15] After counting his 15th lunar cycle, he spotted land: a tiny, desolate islet, which turned out to be a remote corner of the Marshall Islands. On 30 January 2014, he abandoned his boat and swam to shore, where he stumbled upon a beach house owned by a local couple. Alvarenga's journey had lasted 438 days.
