Maria Fares told The Associated Press, adding that they had no power on the boat.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\">            \u201cThey had no starter, lights and everything that a battery generates,\u201d she said. To survive, they had to \u201ctake rusted water out of the engine (and) when a fish passed by, they caught it and parboiled it to eat.\u201d Fares added that they also drank rain and sea water to survive.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\">            The men are in stable condition and the navy said it is coordinating with local and foreign authorities to ensure their safe return to their respective countries.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\">            Earlier this year, another Peruvian fisherman, 61-year-old M\u00e1ximo Napa, spent 95 days at sea alone.
