Always bring a freezer with you when you’re going sailing. If your boat sinks you’ll be able to last at least 11 days if you do.

He was rescued in front of the Suriname coast. When they took this poor guy to land, the cops arrested him because he didn't have a travel visa. wtf? 18 days later he was allowed to travel back to Brazil. So, the custom agents at the airport in Suriname will blackmail you in the open by taking your property and tell you, you need to buy it back but God forbid you arrive there by accident.

FairPlay that man was pretty chilled 😅

[MsLoma]

WTF have I just seen?! Glad he is saved

Really people some of y'all just have cold hearts.

ah, man ... he must have been cramped to the point of atrophy ! That freezer wasn't floating in balance, probably because of a motor in the back that is biased to one side, similar to the human heart (not actually in the center DID YOU KNOW some organs appear in an opposite position ? search it). As soon as this freezer takes on water, this man loses it ... it would've sank to the bottom. Any disturbance, or wave-crest that found it's way inside the freezer had to be immediately bailed out with both hands. What a work of survival.

[CherryMaraschino]

Amazing! I can’t wait for the movie. It’s gonna be an awesome story and visuals.

[greenbunnyinabongo]

Just goes to show why it is so important to carry a freezer with you at all times

[greenbunnyinabongo]

Seeing how close that is to letting water in, I find it hard to believe it lasted 11 days without letting in water and going under

[truthwins]

Why in the world do people think it’s funny to make such stupid comments.

[prdamico]

At least he didn't "Freeze" to

[Strangerthings-fgmx]

[GretchenAmyReilly]

How do you think he ended up there, in that predicament ?

[tynchytemper]

Did the freezer have food and ice in it?

[georgewallace]
