Vessel 1 (V1) departed Sebastian Inlet into the Atlantic Ocean and turned south east. V1 passed the south jetty of Sebastian Inlet and entered an area known as Monster Hole. V1 struck a large wave and an unsecured cooler on V1 fell over. The operator of V1 placed the motor into neutral and walked towards the bow of the vessel to pick up the cooler. A wave struck V1 and capsized it throwing the operator out of the vessel. The operator of V1 was picked up by an off-duty Florida Fish and Wildlife Officer who happened to be in the area and was transported to a nearby boat ramp. The operator was not injured. The vessel sunk and was not recovered.
