For 95 days, M\u00e1ximo Napa Castro, 61, was alone and lost at sea, praying to God and clinging to the hope that he would one day see his mother again.<\/p>\n

Without food or water, he ate cockroaches, birds and finally a turtle, whose blood he drank to slake his thirst.<\/p>\n

He talked to God, getting angry at points. \u201cI said to him, \u2018What am I going to find here?\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWho\u2019s going to save me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he asked for forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone is coming or a helicopter is coming,\u201d he recalled thinking. \u201cAnd then the next day, he sent me a helicopter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
