San Blas, Mexico who had been given up for dead long ago, have been found alive; they were north of Baker Island in the central Pacific, the same lonely stretch of ocean where aviator Amelia Earhart disappeared almost 70- years ago.
Their 30-foot fishing boat had drifted some 8,000km (5,000 miles) in eight months. 

Sunburnt, hungry and thin, but otherwise healthy, they were rescued the crew of the Koo's 102, a Marshall Island's fishing boat run by a Taiwanese crew. Trade winds and ocean currents had carried the three men from the waters off their home state of Nayarit more than halfway to Australia.

Ordonez, Jesus Eduardo Vidana, and Lucio Rendon Becerra had left the fishing hamlet of El Limon, about 684km (425 miles) northwest of Mexico City, in November, on what was to be two or three weeks of deep-sea fishing but their two outboard motors either failed or run out of fuel. The fishermen survived by eating raw fish and sea birds and drinking rainwater.

However the Mexican authorities want answers to some questions: they want to know why nobody reported them as missing and it is thought that the voyage started out with 5 men onboard. The area where they started out is also well known for ‘fishermen’ picking up bales of cocaine dropped by aircraft and then smuggling them ashore in Mexico and then into the USA.
