In very difficult conditions because of the water conditions. >> yeah theres a couple things at play here that may work to the favor of these boys. first of all, you heard about the temperature of the water being in the mid-80s. thats very good for them. also if the boat capsized and they were able to get that cooler likely there was something in the cooler like water, but also the cooler floats. and if as the coast guard wonders, if they were able to fashion some sort of flotation device, they ...

Moms these were experienced fishermen. do you know how many life jackets were on board? >> we dont know how many life jackets were on board. we know one was recovered from the capsized vessel. so thats really all we know. we are hopeful they both have one because that would certainly increase their chances for survival if they had some sort of flotation device. >> we are looking at video of when you found it. is it customary for boaters to climb on top of the boat and stay with the ship? >> that...
