Fishermen push their boat into the sea in the fishing town of Ahuchapan, the hometown of castaway fisherman Jose Salvador Alvarenga, February 4, 2014. Jose Salvador Alvarenga, 37, told officials he set sail on a shark fishing trip from Mexico in late December 2012 - some 10,000 km (6,200 miles) away - but was blown out to sea. He survived more than a year adrift in the Pacific Ocean, drinking turtle blood and catching fish and birds with his bare hands. He was found in a disoriented state on a remote coral atoll where he had been washed up over the weekend in his 7.3-meter (22-foot) fiberglass boat. A police patrol boat took him to Majuro, the capital of the islands. He was then whisked away to hospital for medical checks. REUTERS/ Ulises Rodriguez (EL SALVADOR - Tags: SOCIETY)
