Believe it or not, each one of us has their own cross to shoulder. We have our own problems to solve and so many things to think about.

He doesn’t have any paddle nor engine to control the direction of the fish trap.


Unfortunately, after a few days, he ran out of supplies. He finds a way to survive and to burn wood from the fish trap’s hut to cook fishes from the ocean. His water ran out afterward, what he did was he filter seawater through his clothes.

He counted about 10 ships that passed by but didn’t even notice him. He was very hopeless at that time for floating alone in the vast ocean for about 49 days already!
