Teen rescued after two days at sea

von Not A Charm: Alaska

Hard to picture being stuck like that with no way off and no clue if help is coming. A 15-year-old from Savoonga, Alaska, in the United States went out Friday to fish for halibut with his older brother and cousin, and a line snagged the motor, flipping the skiff.

After that the kid was alone on the overturned boat, no food, no water, enduring cold and waves, until a Coast Guard aircraft found him Monday about four miles off St. Lawrence Island. A fishing vessel spotted him and pulled him aboard. He's home and recovering, and I still can't imagine what those two days felt like
