After 6 months lost at sea, I’d like to know how they look so “healthy”? You’d think they’d be a little emaciated. I thought BS immediately.

Reminds me of that Far Side cartoon where the rescuers from a ship look into a lifeboat to see a happy and healthy dog wagging its tail with a hat, watch and pair of glasses next to it: "Hey boy! How ya doin'?...Look at him, Dan. Poor guy's been floating out here for days but he's still just as fat and happy as ever!"

I agree. That was also my first thought. I’ve seen a few photo’s of castaways when they were rescued and they look pretty gaunt and their clothes are not bright and clean. The barnacles or whatever they were on the hull of the boat seemed legit though.

Agree. In fact, I thought there was a reporting mistake and they were only gone six weeks.

“After 6 months lost at sea, I’d like to know how they look so “healthy”? “

Original story said they were rescued along with two dogs. It did not say how many dogs they started out with.

I heard one of them lost 70 lbs. I wondered which one.
One of them said “another 24 hours and we would have been dead” and we see two women standing, hugging. Shouldn’t a rescue person say that? When people are about to die, they’re usually horizontal and barely responsive.
Story is bunk.
