John Antalek, Eyewitness NewsSYDNEY, Australia (WABC) -- A remarkable rescue at sea in Australia was caught on camera.
Two men and their 11-year-old sons safe on dry land after surviving a harrowing fishing trip.
Their boat sank off the coast of Sydney Thursday.
The four were spotted clinging to the only thing left from their boat, an esky, the Australian name for a cooler.Fortunately they were able to activate an emergency beacon.
They then clung to the esky and each other for 45 minutes before help arrived.
The men named their boat "The Intrepid" after buying it just two weeks ago.
By the time they spotted smoke in the engine it was already taking on water.
No one was seriously hurt.
