  On 16 November 2012 I, Ofc. of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission  (FWC), was notified  a vessel had capsized under the 192 cswy. 
 I arrived at  Front St. boat ramp at the southwest corner of the cswy. at 1503hrs.  I then made contact with Inv. who advised the names of the occupants and a synopsis of the information he had gathered. 
        The winds were out of the north at 15-20 mph sustained with gust to 25 mph causing a small craft advisory. There were 4 adults, their gear, pfd's included, and a dog on board the 14' skiff. The weight lowered the freeboard of V-1 allowing the large waves to break over the bow and gunwales filling the vessel with water until it capsized. All occupants entered the water and were later rescued and taken to shore. None were wearing pfd's.

Cuts were cleaned, bandaged and he was released. ; Victim2 injuries to hands and feet were caused by barnacles on the bridge piling she climbed on to get out of the water.
