"To whoever finds this message, we need your help tracking down an amazing man with an amazing story. You may remember Elvis Francois as the brave sailor who survived on nothing but ketchup and spices while adrift at sea for 24 days. Well, Heinz wants to celebrate his safe return home and help him buy a new boat...but we can't seem to find him," the company said. Francois, 47, was working on his boat in St. Maarten in December when he accidentally started drifting out to sea.
He wrote out the word"help" on the back of his boat, and he was eventually rescued – after 24 days with nothing but"a bottle of ketchup...garlic powder and Maggi [soup]." ." So far, they said, they've reached out to the government of Dominica, where Francois lives, as well as the Colombian Navy to try and find out where he may be and how they can get in touch with him.
In a statement to CBS News on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Heinz said that they want to"gift" Francois a"new state-of-the-art boat." That boat, they said, will be"equipped with full navigational technology to avoid another disaster in the future."
