On the above date and approximate time, Vessel 1 was traveling southbound in the ICW near marker 9 and Tom Stuart Causeway when the engine stalled.
The operator opened the engine compartment and attempted to adjust the carburetor when an explosion occurred near the engine.
Both people jumped overboard and were immediately pulled from the water by a Good Samaritan.
As the two uninjured individuals were removed from the water the St. Pete Fire Rescue vessel and myself arrived on scene.
