DAVAO CITY , Philippines, March 1 (UPI) -- Police in the Philippines believe a yacht with the mummified body of a German man may have been adrift for months before it was found in the Pacific Ocean.
Manfred Bajorat, 59, was an experienced sailor who embarked in October on a voyage from Martinique, in the Atlantic Ocean, nearly 12,500 miles from where his ship was discovered by fishermen Thursday near the Philippine island of Mindanao.
