Cousins Ellen Glynn and Sara Feeney drifted out while paddleboarding at Furbo beach on Wednesday night. They managed to cling onto a lobster pot buoy and were eventually found by a local fisherman yesterday morning - 27 kilometres from where they'd set off. Sara was released from hospital yesterday while Ellen is still receiving treatment. Ellen joins Susan on air to tell her incredible story.
