Doubt And Support
Tom Armbruster, who was the United States Ambassador to the Marshall Islands, said it was implausible for someone to have survived at sea for 13 months, but that “it’s also hard to imagine how someone might arrive on Ebon out of the blue. Certainly this guy has had an ordeal, and has been at sea for some time.” Furthermore, Erik van Sebille, who is an oceanographer at the University of New South Wales, said that actually it was entirely possible for sea currents to carry a boat from Mexico to the Marshall Islands. Although he estimated that it would take around 18 months, but acknowledged that 13 months was plausible.

A Study
Further support came rushing out, specifically from a study from the University of Hawaii by a team of researchers. As such, a study modeled the approximate path a boat could have taken after departing from the Pacific Coast in Mexico. Based of course on wind and current conditions, it concluded that the boat would end up “within 120 miles of Ebon”, where Alvarenga did actually land.
