Man lost at sea for 29 days: "It was a nice break from everything.”
· Oct 22, 2021 · NottheBee.com

Two men, Livae Nanjikana and Junior Qoloni, were traveling from their home in the Solomon Islands to another island 200 kilometers away when a storm blew them off course.

One of the men, Livae Nanjikana, told the Guardian,

"When the bad weather came, it was bad, but it was worse and became scary when the GPS died," he said. "We couldn't see where we were going and so we just decided to stop the engine and wait, to save fuel."

The two men survived off of oranges, coconuts, and rainwater for 29 days before they spotted a fishing boat off the coast of Papua New Guinea and were rescued.

Nanjikana said of their month-long adventure,

"I had no idea what was going on while I was out there. I didn't hear about Covid or anything else," he said. "I look forward to going back home but I guess it was a nice break from everything."

Even people in the Solomon Islands are so sick of Covid, that the bright side of literally being LOST AT SEA is not having to hear about Covid for a few weeks.

But way to look on the bright side guy. I'm actually pretty inspired by his outlook on life.
