SakshiTime Goes By
Every cloud has a silver lining! The sea too taught some useful lessons to Alvarenga. He learned that storms are easy to deal with and weaker as he floated further out. He calculated time by observing the waxing and waning of the moon. If we go by his calculation till now it had been 14 lunar cycles since he got lost in the sea. Which implies that he had been staying alone in the sea for about ten months now.
