Florida teens washed out to sea have prayers answered by boat named 'Amen.'
The prayers of high schoolers Heather Brown and Tyler Smith were answered after they were washed out to sea -- and by a boat named"Amen."
"Me and Heather's idea originally was to swim to an island," Smith told ABC News in an interview airing Friday on"Good Morning America.""Me and her were like the strong, courageous ones of the group. Eventually one turned around and the next." But the pair, now the only ones in the group still swimming, were quickly caught up in a current that continued to pull them out deeper into the ocean."I said, 'You see that red buoy? Let's swim to that, grab on and hold onto it and wait for someone to come rescue us,'" Smith said."We were swimming, swimming, swimming to it and the current was really strong. The current pushed us to the left of it.
Their friends later told them they drifted so far out of view they couldn't see them anymore and went back to the cars to get help. Smith and Brown were out in the water for an hour and a half when they finally saw a boat.
