That would have completely freaked me to have been separated from my kid during that ordeal. Glad they were both safe!

Unbelievable! Tweleve hours without any kind of floatation deveice? Man, that's a long time to float and tread water in the ocean. Glad that everything turned out OK for both of them.

Wow! It would be terrifying to be seperated from your child. I'm really glad everything turned out well. The two of them had some great survival instincts!
