A teenager survived 49 days at sea after his fishing shack was torn from its moorings and drifted 1,600 miles across the Pacific Ocean.

Details of the odyssey emerged as Aldi Adilang was finally reunited with his family at their remote coastal village in Indonesia, after being rescued near the island of Guam by a passing ship heading for Japan.
