THE OPERATOR OF V1 WAS MOTORING FOREWARD TO TAKE UP THE ANCHOR WHEN A WAVE CAUSED THE BOAT TO SPIN AND THE ANCHOR LINE BECAME ENTANGELED IN THE MOTOR. A WAVE THEN CRASHED OVER THE STERN, SWAMPING AND CAPSIZING THE VESSEL. THE OCCUPANTS WERE EJECTED INTO THE WATER. THEY WERE BOTH QUICKLY RESCUED BY NEARBY BOATERS AND HELPED TO A RESPONDING INDIAN RIVER SHERIFF'S OFFICER'S VESSEL WHICH THEN TOWED V1 AND THE MEN TO COCONUT POINT BOAT RAMP AT SEBASTIAN INLET STATE PARK.
