The total number of people rescued from the boat that sank near the town of Montecristi yesterday has reached 20. Diario Libre writes that 14 survivors were taken to the hospital in Manzanillo. In today's Diario Libre some of the survivors discussed their 17-hour ordeal in the water after their ship Abracadabra, captained by Amancio Mirabal, began to sink. Mirabal is still missing. One survivor, Teofilo Rosario explained that the boat left at around 3pm on Sunday with 39 people on board and started sinking nine hours later about 20 miles off Montecristi. Bad weather caused significant wave surge in the ocean, which caused the boat to capsize.
