He arrived Tuesday at the Mexican port of Manzanillo, thin, with a bushy beard and wild hair bunched into a red cap sporting a logo of fishing company Grupomar, whose vessel had come to his rescue. But they soon found themselves stranded after rough seas damaged the vessel, which he described as a French Polynesian traditional boat named"Aloha Toa," and knocked out its electronics.
