Storm moved in quickly, weather got bad. Boat turned on its side and operator of V-1 was ejected off boat. Once he was able to climb back aboard and regain control of the boat another passenger told him that another student has been ejected as well. Operator attempted to throw a floating cushion to victim in water but winds blew it away from him.

Victim was taken by current and out to sea. Body of victim found hours later on a rock outcropping southeast of the corner of Huckleberry Island.
