Brother and nephew dead
Russian rescued after 67 days in rubber dinghy
At the beginning of August, a Russian man set off on a boat trip with his brother and nephew in a rubber dinghy - after two months, the 46-year-old was rescued from the Pacific by chance. Unfortunately, his companions were less fortunate.
The trio had set off from a cape in the Khabarovsk region on August 9 towards the city of Ocha on Sakhalin Island. Contact with the small boat was then lost. After a month of searching, the mission was finally called off.
Bodies were still on board
67 days after setting sail, at least the 46-year-old sailor was rescued by fishermen who happened to spot the boat in distress. The survivor's 49-year-old brother and 15-year-old nephew did not survive the months-long ordeal in the Pacific. Their bodies were also still on board the boat when the rescuers arrived.
"On October 14, a ship was discovered in the waters of the Sea of Okhotsk," the judicial authorities in Russia's Far East announced via the messaging app Telegram. The man had a red flag attached to a short pole on the twin-hulled inflatable boat. The sea area covers 1.58 million square kilometers.
Survivor lost 50 kilos of body weight
The man lost 50 kilograms of weight during his odyssey - he received medical treatment. The boat was found about 1,000 kilometers from its original destination, as reported by the Russian telegram channel SHOT.
