Crawling ashore, he was saved by a local couple living in their own private castaway paradise.īased on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to normality, this is an epic tale of survival and one man's incredible story of beating the ultimate odds. But Alvarenga developed a method of survival that kept his body and mind intact long enough for the Pacific Ocean to spit him up onto a remote palm-studded island. He considered suicide on multiple occasions - including offering himself up to a pack of circling sharks. Not one stopped for the stranded fisherman. Three dozen cruise ships and container vessels passed nearby. When he was washed ashore on January 30th, 2014, he had drifted over 9,000 miles. Alvarenga would not touch solid ground again for 14 months. The storm picked up and carried him West, deeper into the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Based on exclusive interviews with passengers and crew, CABIN FEVER, chronicles the heroics as beleaguered crew members fight to survive as port after port. For fourteen months, Alvarenga survived constant shark attacks.
