Apiuta

Apiuta is a Cook Islands fisherman who recently endured a harrowing week lost at sea after his boat's motor failed while he was fishing. Stranded without essential supplies like a lifejacket or torch, he fought against rough weather conditions and the cold, relying on his survival instincts and the companionship of a bird to keep his spirits up. After seven days adrift, he was rescued by a Taiwanese fishing vessel, prompting an emotional reunion with his family.
