Three fishermen were found holding onto a portable cooler in waters off the coast of Western Australia on Wednesday, February 1, after their boat capsized.

Footage released by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) shows the men clinging to the cooler. One man can be seen waving towards rescue aircraft.

AMSA said the trio were found in the water near a capsized vessel off the coast of Eclipse Island, just over 10 miles (17 km) south of the city of Albany.
