SakshiSteering Back To Home
Alvarenga wading through the strong waves steered the boat towards the storm. No doubt, it was an uphill task navigating and driving the boat in the middle of a life-threatening storm. The sea was churning up causing the boat turning and tossing continuously. After a while fighting the storm, the two finally took a sigh of relief when they saw a mountain and that is when something happened that would have been the last thing to expect.
Trouble On The Horizon
Alvarenga and Córdoba had spotted a mountain and were moving towards that when their motor began to roar uncomfortably. The noise alerted Alvarenga because he knew any problem with the engine would put them in a big trouble. Unfortunately, that was exactly the case here, the motor had broken down leaving them helpless in the ocean. With the motor, the courage of Alvarenga too broke down and he started looking all around if anything was there he could put in use to help themselves. It was then he remembered he had a radio on the ship.
“Willy! Willy! Willy!”
José Alvarenga rushed towards the radio to send his boss Willy, SOS. The radio was half charged but Alvarenga had no time to take note of that. It seemed they were not completely out of luck as his boss answered him at once. “Willy! Willy! Willy. The motor is ruined!” said Alvarenga. On which Willy replied, “Calm down, man, give me your coordinates.” Willy waited for him to provide him with their location when another realization dawned upon Alvarenga. No doubt, today was the worst day of his life.
No Location
Everything was falling apart! First came the unexpected rain then just when they were about to reach land their boat stopped functioning and now the GPS had gone defunct due to the storm. Without GPS it was difficult for Willy and rescue team to locate the boat. However, Willy came up with another idea, he told Alvarenga to place an anchor that would make their boat perceivable from the sky. Sadly, Alvarenga did not have that too. He had left it home as he thought the object would not come into use this time too. However, Willy kept telling him that he would send someone to rescue them but with no traces of their boat, it seemed impossible. Willy remembered Alvarenga’s last word before the radio shut off “Come now, I am really getting f***ed out here!”
Failed Search Mission
Willy wasted no time and brought Chiapas authorities into the loop. The authorities immediately took the matter into their hands and sent out a boat in the sea that looked for them. Honestly, the chances of finding the two were thin as there was no clue about their location despite that the team kept finding them. Subsequently, an airborne team took out the search operation that looked for the boat for about 48 hours. However, the air team too failed to locate the boat owing to the failing visibility.
What Now?
The situation had gotten the best of Alvarenga. He was so frustrated that he started throwing things all around. First, he hurled the GPS, crashed the radio, and then threw the enormous club on the conked motor. He had never been so disappointed with himself as he was today. He could have dealt with the storm had he prepared in advance.
