RedactedNarrative: A Hobie Cat sailboat was traveling through Card Sound when a wind gust caught the vessel's sail causing the sailboat to capsize.
  
  According to statement, he was traveling south on the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) with foul weather to the west of him. When Operator noticed the winds starting to pick up, he states he dropped his sails the best he could. However, the wind gusts were strong and got a hold of his sails causing the vessel to be picked up. Operator states at that time he was thrown from the vessel and therefore having no control over it. Operator states that the vessel "cartwheeled" about 200 yards before coming to a rest as it was when we discovered the vessel upon arrival 
  
     Operator stated that he was wearing his foul weather jacket and had his VHF radio with him, enabling him to activate the distress signal. Operator stated to me that he did not sustain any injuries and did not need any medical treatment in regards to the accident. The vessel was salvaged by Tow Boat US at approximately 2130 hours and was taken to Tiki Water Sports Inc. in Key Largo. There, I was able to take more photographs of the vessel in the day time. Tiki Water Sports estimated the damages to be approximately $5,300.00.
