My wife and I had justed started going together and went out deep sea fishing in my uncles boat out in the Atlantic Ocean We were 21 miles out and the boat sank. We could not get a distress call out because the water had shorted out the electrical. When you are that far out to sea the only thing you sea is water and sky until they meet in the distance horizon.
I am glad these two guys were found, I know first hand how scary this is.

Two Volusia County fishermen spent nearly 30 hours at sea floating in a large fish cooler until rescuers hoisted them from the Atlantic Ocean into a helicopter Friday afternoon.
About 9 a.m. Thursday, their boat was anchored about 30 miles east of Ponce de Leon Inlet when a large wave hit the vessel, causing it to list hard to the starboard side, the men told Coast Guard officials.
