Don't you wish that you could just disappear some days?

Escape the monotony of it all and find yourself peacefully drifting away into the sunset.

Jose Salvador Alvaranga has done exactly that, and he may warn you that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening. You're listening.

You're listening.

You're listening.

You're be amazed.

In his lifetime, Alvoreanga has had the great displeasure of being lost on the deep blue.

While we've all marveled at stories of people

vanishing at sea for days, the Salvadorian fishermen

disappeared from the coast of Costa Azul, Mexico,

only to resurface 438 days later, miraculously alive

in the middle of the Pacific.

It's a harrowing tale that admittedly sounds like some Pacific Island legend, but Alvaranga is

a man of flesh and blood.

Set adrift across the vast expanse of Cobalt, battling dehydration and deteriorating sanity,

Alvaranga let his instincts and imagination take over to survive more than 14 months at sea.

How long the average adult can survive without water is a rough estimate at best.

But as Randall K. Packer, professor of biology at George Washington University, claims,

it only takes a few hours for someone exerting themselves in a sweltering environment to die from dehydration.

Alvarenga may have been in the cooler November air, but surviving 438 days without a constant supply of H2O,

and at times only his urine to drink while battling the elements and exhaustion is borderline miraculous.
