A Peruvian fisherman who spent 95 days lost in the Pacific Ocean returned home to his family on Friday.

"I did not want to die," Maximo Napa told reporters after reuniting with his brother, in Paita, near the border with Ecuador. "I ate roaches, birds, the last thing I ate was turtles."

He said he stayed strong thinking about his family, including his two-month-old granddaughter, even as he survived on rainwater he collected on the boat and ran out of food, ultimately spending the last "15 days" without eating.

Maximo Napa had set off for a fishing trip from Marcona on December 7. He packed food for a two-week trip, but ten days in, stormy weather threw his boat off course, and he ended up adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
