For 11 days he was stranded at sea inside a floating refrigerator he used to store fish.
Brazilian fisherman, Romualdo Macedo Rodrigues, told Record TV he never thought he'd live to tell his story. He had no food or water with him, and sharks circled the freezer. The trouble began when his fishing boat began to sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

"I was desperate. I thought my end was coming. But thanks God, God gave me one more chance," Rodrigues said. He added thinking of his wife and kids is what kept him going. After 11 days, he was rescued off the coast of Suriname. "My vision was already fading, then I said, 'My God, the boat.' I raised my arms and asked for help," he said. "It was a miracle."
