Fishermen rescue man in Sea of Okhotsk who had been drifting for 67 days
Off the coast of Kamchatka in the Sea of Okhotsk, not far from Ust-Kairuzovo, fishermen discovered a boat with a man on board that had been at sea for 67 days. This was reported on the Baza Telegram channel.
According to the channel, on August 9, Mikhail disappeared while attempting to swim from Khabarovsk Krai to Sakhalin with his brother and nephew. He searched for more than a month, but got no results. However, two months after the disappearance, fishermen on board the Angel found the missing boat 23 km from the coast of Kamchatka.
The 46-year-old man lost 50 kg during the drift, but unlike his relatives, he survived. He has now been taken to hospital for treatment.
Earlier it was reported that an An-74 Emergencies Ministry aircraft with rescuers arrived to participate in the search for missing people.
