On July 4, 2012  a large storm producing winds gusting to 40 mph, caused rough seas and large waves. A 24 foot Sea Ray was being operated back to Callville Bay Marina when a big wave flooded the boat. The bilge pump did not work and the engine died. The boat, occupied by 8 people, was pushed onto the sandy shore south of Sandy Cove.  The waves continued to crash into the boat resulting in the boat filling up with water and  listing on its port side on the shoreline.  All occupants left the boat safely. No one was injured.
