When friends Scott Smiles and Rick Matthews set out on a fishing trip with their 11-year-old sons off the coast of Sydney, Australia yesterday, they had no idea the cooler used to carry their drinks, along with quick thinking, would save their lives.
The group was five miles offshore when the men noticed black smoke in their 40-foot cruiser. The boat was on fire and sinking fast.
