They wait and they hope as Nicaragua's Navy says it located a fishing boat that sunk last week.
As night falls, the Navy says they found the body of a fisherman. Seventeen are still missing -- 32 have been found.
Relatives of the missing are starting to lose hope.

"A lot of families are sad right now. How did we lose them, just like that? Time has elapsed. Tomorrow they would've been missing for nine days."
The Navy hasn't given up.

"We have not lost hope and we are confident we will rescue more people alive while the search continues."
Rescued fishermen said the boat tipped onto its side last Wednesday, and was later thrown upside down by a wave.
