V1 was being operated near shore in with a depth of only 3-4 feet. Heavy wave action caused V1 to capsize ejecting both the operator and the passenger. There were no injuries and the occupant and passenger were able to stand in the shallow water and walk to shore. The capsized vessel washed upon the beach at Conch Island which is part of Anastasia State Park. The owner and occupant are both German nationals in the US on visas and have only German issued passports for ID, no local DL or ID cards. V1 was a new vessel that was purchased 11/9/11.
