Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel. Elvis Francois was fixing his boat along the coast of St. Martin when a current pulled him and his boat offshore. For 24 days, he was lost at sea, living mostly off ketchup. When he finally made it back to shore, ketchup maker⁴ Heinz heard his story and started looking for him.
