Alvarenga eventually had to push the corpse of his shipmate Ezequiel Cordoba overboard. When he did that, he almost immediately fainted. Coming to, Alvarenga had an existential crisis. Why was he alive? Why was Cordoba dead?
What would have happened had the roles been reversed? He then thought about the fact that it was he himself who pushed Cordoba to come with him on the fishing trip. Alvarenga then began to blame himself for Cordoba’s death.

It turns out that Jose Alvarenga was extremely lucky that he managed to and on Ebon Atoll. Had he missed the atoll, Jose Alvarenga would have still been drifting and possibly would not have made it.
The little dinghy he was stuck in would have likely continued to drift in the ocean current, and he probably would have kept going north of Australia, hitting the Philippines 3,000 miles away. It is nothing short of a miracle that he landed on an atoll, and an inhabited one at that.
