Heinz has tracked down Elvis Francois, 47, who survived at sea for almost a month — 24 days — on little more than ketchup and spices.
The company recently put out a social media search for Francois in order to buy him a new boat.
Desde el aire se estableció la ubicación del velero en emergencia que tenía la palabra “HELP” grabada sobre su casco. Emmerline Anselm of the local Dominican news outlet EmoNews knew that he lived in a community near her. So, she traveled to the town of Anse De Mai — and found him. Because he didn’t have a phone, it had been harder to reach him. EmoNews shared a Facebook Live video on Feb. 22 where the man himself recounted his story.
In the EmoNews Facebook Live video, he described himself as “quite a mysterious person” who likes to travel — and to take risks.
