Fishing plans
Our story begins in Mexico in November 2012, when Alvarenga, a 36-year-old experienced fisherman, set off with his new partner Ezequiel Cordoba, on a fishing trip which they hoped would net them a big enough catch to last a few weeks. They would fish overnight, and return home with a fully loaded boat.
They both knew the journey would be risky due to weather and the current conditions out at sea, but the haul that they would share between them would be worth it. Tuna, shark, mahi-mahi, they would be able to sell all of these to local businesses.
