    Capsized Boat off MHC - 2 People Missing

    http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/7579335/

    Terrible news. One person found clinging to the boat. The CG is searching for the other two. The guy they found indicated that the other two are wearing life jackets. Hopefully we'll see some good news soon.

    I HAVE HEARD SO MANY DIFFEREENT VERSIONS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE


    EVEN THIS WRAL REPORT DOESN'T JIVE AND I QUOTE FROM THE ABOVE LINK:

    "The crew of a passing vessel sighted a capsized 31-foot Fountain powerboat shortly before 6 a.m. A man was clinging to the boat's hull, authorities said.The crew of the passing boat pulled the man from the water and notified the Coast Guard. The man reported that two men were with him aboard, but they weren't in sight when he was rescued. Both were reportedly wearing life jackets.
    Authorities said they believe that powerboat departed from Anchorage Marina in Atlantic Beach and then capsized between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Monday."




    IF THE PASSING BOAT SIGHTED THEM UPSIDE DOWN AT 6 AM.....THEN HOW DID THEY CAPSIZE BETWEEN 8-8:30?




    POINT IS...SADLY, NO ONE HAS GIVEN OUT THE SAME STORY AND THIS IS VERY CONFUSING.





    I PRAY THAT THE CREW IS FOUND.

    Heard about this from a commercial buddy. I guess he is friends with the crew that picked up the one guy...

    That really sucks...

    I am in Florida right now and was just wondering if the seas offshore out of the area were bad mon night/tue morning?

    31 fountain capsized...pretty good size boat to capsize unless they had no power maybe in bigger swells..

    Hoping for the best!

    I also was wondering what it would take to capsize a 31 footer? Maybe they were taking on water? Hope they find the others in good shape, I wouldn't want to spend another night in the drink. Keep us posted guys.
