V1 WAS TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON THE OCKLAHAWA RIVER.  V1 OPERATOR MADE A SHARP TURN STARBOARD AT ABOUT 10 MPH, CAUSING THE BRACE CONNECTING TWO PONTOONS TOGETHER AT THE STERN OF THE BOAT TO BREAK LOOSE.  THIS CAUSED V1 TO SEPARATE AND EJECT BOTH OCCUPANTS. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING PFD'S.  V1 FLIPPED OVER BUT DID NOT SINK.  BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE IN THE WATER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR BEFORE BEING SPOTTED BY TWO PWC OPERATORS.  ONE OPERATOR TRANSPORTED BOTH OCCUPANTS TO THE BOAT RAMP IN WELAKA IN THE ST JOHNS RIVER, WHILE THE OTHER PWC OPERATOR TRANSPORTED V1 TO THE BOAT RAMP IN WELAKA IN THE OCKLAHAWA RIVER
