After a 67-day voyage in the northwestern Pacific, a 46-year-old sailor was accidentally spotted and rescued by fishermen. His 49-year-old brother and the 15-year-old son of one of the two men died while traveling in a small sailboat, authorities in Russia’s Far East said on Tuesday on the messaging app Telegram, pointing out that the sea area was over 1, 58 million square kilometers.
Footage was posted on social media showing an emaciated, bearded man wearing a hooded jacket and an orange emergency vest. “Two people died, one survived,” said the responsible public prosecutor’s office in the region. “He is receiving medical attention.”
According to the Telegram channel “Shot”, the catamaran with the 46-year-old and the two bodies on board was discovered about 1,000 kilometers from its original destination. Accordingly, the trio set off on August 9th from a cape in the Khabarovsk region towards the city of Ocha on the island of Sakhalin. “After a while, contact with them broke off and their whereabouts remained unknown,” it said. The search for the sailboat took a month.
