The fisherman spent days without food or drinkable water and said he saw sharks surrounding the freezer.
"Sharks were surrounding the freezer, but they went away. I thought . I stayed on the top , I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep. I saw the dawn, the dusk, asking God to send someone to rescue me." Eventually water started to creep inside the freezer, and he says he used his hand to scoop it out. He didn't have food or water.
"I was thinking about my kids, my wife. Every day I was thinking about my mother, my father, all my family. It gave me strength and hope ... but at the moment I thought there was no other way," he told Record TV. When the fishermen arrived, he said: "I heard a noise, and there was a boat on top of the freezer. Only they thought there was no one there. Then they slowly pulled over, my vision was already fading, then I said, 'My God, the boat.' I raised my arms and asked for help." Rodrigues was thankful to survive.The-CNN-Wire
