Vessel #1, was in the Gulf of Mexico attempting to get a tow rope to another beached vessel on the beach located on the southside of Grand Terre beach. the tow rope became entangled in the propeller of the outboard motor, causing the engine to stop.The rough waves, along with the strong southeast wind and incoming current caused the vessel to become wedged against the rock jetties of Grand Terre Beach. The vessel eventually filled with water, sank, and capsized. The operator of the vessel was not injuried and was wearing his PFD. Alcohol nor drugs were not a factor in the accident.
