RedactedNarrative: On the above and date and time, V1 was returning from fishing in the Apalachicola Bay to the Old Ferry Dock Boat Ramp.  V1 was traveling east on the north side of the Apalachicola Causeway approximately 60 yards from land.  The wind was 10-15mph from the north and combined with the back splash wave activity from the causeway it created a hazardous situation for their small low sided vessel. 
  
  Several waves swamped their vessel causing it to sink.  The operator and passenger were helped to shore by good Samaritan's who witnessed the accident.  The operator was transported to Weems where he was pronounced deceased.  The passenger was transported via air to TMH and admitted for treatment for exhaustion and ingesting salt water.
