17 year old Ellen Glynn and her 23 year old cousin Sara Feeney were rescued from the sea off the coast of Galway.
Ellen and Sara spend 15 hours in the water after drifting out to sea while paddle boarding.
The pair set off from Furbo beach and were found clinging to a bouy 27 kilometres away by local fishermen.
Ellen's father Johnny Glynn says he was just hoping they were together
