The sailor who spent weeks lost at sea, surviving largely off of ketchup, could have a new, state-of-the-art boat coming to him
And the handsome gift would be thanks to Ketchup giant Heinz, which is trying to locate Elvis Francois. The company posted a callout to social media on February 14th, hoping to track down the elusive Dominica sailor. According to Heinz’s social media, they’ve already reached out to the government of Dominica, the island nation where Francois is from, as well as the Colombian navy, which rescued him northwest of Colombia’s Puerto Bolívar.
“We’re also asking for any credible leads to contact Elvis so we can help cover a new boat equipped with full navigational technology to avoid another disaster in the future,” added the company. Heinz also suggested fans use the hashtag #FindTheKetchupBoatGuy to amplify their search. Francois, 47, was repairing his boat near the Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin in December when his boat was pulled out to sea.
