 Just before sunrise on 28 October 2005, Rendón, Ordóñez and Vidaña, along with two other seafarers, left the Mexican port of San Blas, Nayarit, to catch sharks south of the Islas Marías in a fiberglass boat.But they exhausted their fuel and strong easterly winds cast them adrift in the Northern Equatorial Current which crosses the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to the Philippines.Rendón's family searched for several weeks, but the castaways were blown out into the high seas too fast and could not be found.
