A Tumalo woman on a bird-watching cruise off the coast of Panama spotted something else entirely: three stranded fishermen in a boat, waving for help. She told the crew she thought they were in trouble, but was told they were fine -- and within hours or days, two of them were dead.
Standing on the deck of a cruise ship between Panama ez carrental and Ecuador, Judy Meredith gazed out at sea, hoping to see birds. But what she and two of her friends spotted instead on March 10th still haunts her.
Meredith was aboard the Star Princess cruise ship for a 30-day bird-watching cruise. By peering through her binoculars, Meredith unknowingly became one of the last people to see 26 year old Oropeces Betancourt alive.
Two and a half weeks after Meredith watched the boat disappear into the distance, fishermen near the Galapagos Islands came across the same boat. But by then, 18-year-old Adrian Vasquez was alone and unconscious.
ez carrental Possibly the saddest part -- Betancourt died from dehydration the very night Meredith and her friends spotted him. The other fisherman who died was a 16-year-old boy named Fernando Osario, who died five days later.
