On 10/27/12 at approximately 2320 hours a boating accident occurred in St. Joseph sound in Pinellas County. A 17' flats boat with 2 POB was towing a 34' houseboat with 1 POB to a mooring area after the houseboat had earlier broken anchor due to high winds. The flats boat began to take on water when a tow line entangled its propeller and the vessel quickly submerged with just the bow above water. All 3 occupants were on the houseboat upon arrival on scene.
