Castaway claims he drifted 13 months in Pacific - CNN.com

Wiki:
A castaway is a person who is cast adrift or ashore. While the situation usually happens after a shipwreck, some people voluntarily stay behind on a deserted island, either to evade captors or the world in general. A person may also be left ashore as punishment (marooned).


Seems in this case the term is used loosely.

#Castaway is such an exotic title to have . I wonder how long one needs to be disappeared to be granted this moniker ?

Castaway claims he drifted 13 months in Pacific

This trip across the Pacific would have taken Jose Salvador Alvarenga across roughly 6,700 miles (10,800 kilometers) of open ocean before ending in the Marshall Islands, about halfway between Hawaii and Australia, in the northern Pacific.
