15-year-old boy rescued from frigid Bering Sea

A fishing boat rescues a 15-year-old boy who has been

bobbing for days atop a capsized skiff in the frigid Bering Sea in Alaska.

It's still summer in Alaska, but the water in Bering Sea is only

around 10 degrees Celsius.

Water at this temperature triggers rapid hypothermia,

but somehow, this 15-year-old boy, named Parker,

survived for three days after

his small boat overturned.

Both the boy's brother and his cousin died in the incident.

US Coast Guard planes and helicopters began searching

for the skiff Monday morning, after family members reported

the three missing.

One of the Guard's air crews spotted Parker and deployed

a raft and supplies before contacting a nearby fishing vessel,

"The Northwest Explorer."

Video of the rescue showed Parker in a bright yellow jacket kneeling

atop the overturned boat.

The fishing vessel's crew tossed Parker a line, tugging the boat

closer until they could pull him into a rescue basket.

The boy was experiencing symptoms of hypothermia

when he got onto the boat.

The fishing vessel crew then warmed him with blankets and

hot packs.

Parker said he was praying the whole time,

and believed he would be found.

He has since been reunited with his family.
