RedactedNarrative: At approximately 09:15 am a witness noticed something in the water off their beach.  As they stepped closer to the beach they saw it was a canoe full of water and partially submerged with a man in the water holding onto one end of it.  The witness yelled "are you ok?" and the victim in the water said "it's too windy".  He was either trying to get in the boat or trying to get it to shore.  He seemed to make a little progress. The witness believed he ultimately let go of the boat, which seemed to be sinking, made a few splashing strokes then said "help me" then went under and did not resurface.  Eventually he was located approximately 25-40 feet from shore. He was presumed to be face down as the victim's back of shirt was hooked by a boat hook for the recovery.  As of today's date we have no medical examiner report.
