Found this just now.. These guys were on an overturned 23 foot vessel.. for several days.. They were lucky that some folks came by and found 'em, cause the Coasties had given up..
-- A day after the U.S. Coast Guard said it was suspending its weeklong search for three missing boaters, the men were found alive Saturday night.
A boater found 28-year-old Curtis Hall, 30-year-old James Phillips and 43-year-old Tressel Hawkins sitting on top of their capsized fishing vessel about 180 miles from Port Aransas, Texas, the Coast Guard said in a news release.
The men had been missing at sea since they failed to return from a fishing trip on August 22.
The Coast Guard called off its search Friday after it said it had searched more than 86,000 square miles for the men.
Following their rescue, the men were taken to Port Aransas to undergo medical evaluation.
