'El Gato' caught birds
"They treated us very well, with air conditioning, and they didn't let us go out into the sun," said Ordonez, nicknamed "El Gato," or "The Cat," by boatmates for his bird catching skills. "They gave us a lot of food."
With their return, the Mexican news media on Friday seemed to embrace the astonishing tale of the three plainspoken fishermen, whose tearful family members appeared in television broadcasts from their homes in the coastal states of Nayarit and Sinaloa.
Vidana's wife was too emotional to speak as she held her sleeping 4-month-old baby girl in a television studio.
Vidana, asked by an anchor on TV Azteca whether he was afraid of the sea, said, "No. Why would I be? You have to have respect for the sea but not fear."
On Friday they were scheduled to continue their journey home to the coast.
When asked what they planned to do next, Salvador said, "see the family for three or four days and then get back to work."
