i just read this story about some mexican fisherman rescued by taiwanese after floating at sea for 11 months!

Rescued fishermen

...it appeared the three men had survived on rain water, sea birds and fish they had been able to catch as they drifted in their 25-foot-long (8 metre) fibreglass boat.

"They were very skinny and very hungry," he said.

I hope they had all read Life of Pi. They would have gleaned some good tips!

Didn't see anything in the story about a tiger on board, though.
