Ivan went shark fishing with a friend off the coast of Mexico on
Chistmas Day 2012.  They were trying to sail to El Salvador when
their engine broke and they found themselves being dragged out
to sea.  Jose survived by eating raw fish and drinking turtle
blood but his friend sadly died.  He told the Mail Online: “I
just want to get back home to Mexico, but I don't even know
where I am.”  Jose was found emaciated on the tiny Ebon Atoll in
the Marshall islands. He had drifted more than 8,000miles.  He
was spotted by two locals on Thursday when his boat floated onto
the reef. The starving man was given food and a bed to rest on
the island.  The tiny island's population is just 700 people.
