Father, son cling to overturned boat for five hours

An East London father and son clung to their overturned boat for five hours before being rescued more than a kilometre out to sea on Monday, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) reported. The ski-boat capsized when it was hit by a wave three nautical miles out to sea, near the mouth of the Fish River, said NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon.
