Pre-liminary info as of 7/13/10 is that the deceased stopped by a store to buy bait at 7:30am.  At about 9:30am his center console boat ran aground on the beach.  The engine was running but no one was onboard.  A search and rescue operation was organized and about 2 hours later his body was spotted from the air by the Coast Guard.  A local fire department happened to be training on an inflatable boat at the time the emergency call was made and were able to bring the body to shore.  Bystanders on the scene advised they was heavy fog and surf that morning.  According to a media release by the local police department it is likely the victim died after falling overboard trying to navigate a treacherous inlet.  He did not have much experience in local waters or much familiarity with the inlet.  Will update when further info becomes available.
