A sailor from Dominica, who was lost in the Caribbean sea for almost a month, said that he survived by eating ketchup, garlic powder and seasoning cubes.

The 47-year-old got lost in December when currents swept up his sailboat as he was making repairs.

The sailor was eventually rescued when a passing plane spotted him, after he used a mirror to signal and wrote “HELP” on the boat’s hull.
