RedactedNarrative: ON JULY 5, 2013, operator WAS COMING IN FROM THE OCEAN AT CAROLINA BEACH INLET FROM A DAY OF FISHING.  HE SAID HE WAS IN ABOUT 10 FEET OF WATER, THEN HE NOTICED THE DRASTIC CHANGE OF COLOR IN THE WATER.  HE PUT THE BOAT IN NEUTRAL AND WENT TO ASK HIS BROTHER IN LAW ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE WATER AND IF HE WAS GOING THE RIGHT WAY.  HE WASN'T SURE IF HE WAS IN THE CHANNEL.  HE WAS LOOKING AT THE BUOYS AT THE OTHER END OF THE INLET.  BY THE TIME HE COULD ASK HIS BROTHER IN LAW, THEY WERE IN ABOUT 2-3 FEET OF WATER WITH THE WAVES PUSHING THEM INTO THE SHALLOW WATER.  THE BOAT GROUNDED AND STARTED TAKING ON WATER.  THEY CALLED FOR HELP AND WAS ASSISTED BY CAROLINA BEACH LIFE GUARDS AND NEW HANOVER SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
