I think that these two men have an incredible story. Holding on to a boat for eight days at sea is crazy. I don't know how they had the strength, I probably wouldn't have been able to cling on or go without food or water for that long. The article said that the two men are expected to recover, which is good. I hope that they heal well and are returned safely to their families.

Desperate fisherman finally saved by Zoey Crummey
Two fisherman originally from the Bahamas were saved after eight days of hanging on to the bottom of their boat. They had no food or water, and when they were found they showed severe signs of dehydration. They were also hypothermic, waterlogged, and sick from ingesting saltwater. The two men were discovered thirty miles of the Florida coast, and just in time. If they hadn't been found soon "they would have been riding that Gulf Stream up to the north."
