RedactedNarrative: On 03/09/14, at approximately 1050 hours EST, Vessel 1 departed the Estiffanulga Boat Ramp, located in Liberty County, FL. heading down river on the Apalachicola River.  At this particular location on the river, Vessel 1 was heading in a northwesterly direction on a full plane.  When Vessel 1 got approximately 300 yards from the boat ramp, it suddenly made a sharp right turn ejecting the owner/operator into the river.  According to a witness, the vessel spun in circles until it crashed into some fallen tree brush on the Liberty County side of the Apalachicola River.  The ejected operator was heard and seen by the witness as he was "fighting the water".  Sight was lost of the operator as the witness went in his residence to call 911.  Search efforts for the operator continued until his body was recovered on 03/22/14, at approximately 0825 hours CST, near the center of the Apalachicola river just north of Iola Landing in Gulf County, FL.  ;
