A MAN lost at sea has been found just off the coast of Columbia clinging to an Esky.

The fisherman spent two days adrift in the Pacific Ocean after his boat capsized.

He was discovered by the Colombian Navy during routine drills floating 35 kilometres from the coastline.

Video released by the navy show the moments the man, later identified as Solano Salazar, 47, was spotted desperately clinging for life.

Mr Salazar had apparently gone out fishing with a companion when strong winds overturned their boat sending him drifting for 48 hours.

Captain Andres Mejia, commander of Colombia's Pacific coastguard, said that Mr Salazar was drifting holding onto a portable cooler, dehydrated but unhurt, when he was found.

Mr Salazar said he was doing well now that he was back on dry land.

"I thought I was going to die. I didn't think about anything else," Mr Salazar told BBC

The search for Mr Salazar's companion is continuing.
