MIAMI, Florida (AP/ WVLT) -- The top of a cooler may be the reason a South Florida man is alive this morning.

His boat flipped over Sunday night and his brother managed to safely swim to shore.

But, the other man spent seven hours clinging to the top of a cooler before rescuers reached him yesterday morning.

Both men were taken to a hospital.
