'I can't remember much, just one thought - the sea, the sea': Questions begin as fisherman who says he survived 14 MONTHS adrift in the Pacific ALSO can’t remember his phone number or home town

  • Frail, bearded but smiling, Jose Salvador Alvarenga came ashore on the island of Majuro on Monday after his terrible ordeal and spoke to MailOnline
  • Jose only survived by catching, birds, fish, turtles and drinking their blood
  • He said: 'I thank God and I thank the birds I caught to eat. I caught fish and at times I drank my own urine to have liquid'
  • Rambling at times, he can remember very little of his past life
  • He looked plumper than expected, but a doctor said it was because his body has swollen from the conditions he endured
  • But questions have started to creep in about his 'incredible' story. A local official said: 'I'm not sure if I believe his story. I may have some doubts'
  • Claims he left Mexico for El Salvador in December 2012 with a companion, aged between 15 and 18, who died after four weeks
