RedactedNarrative: Vessel capsized from water intrusion while at anchor, fishing near French Reef.
  
  According to interviews and witness statements, at approximately 1100, the owner/operator of the capsized vessel departed from John Pennekamp State Marina and went oceanside to the area of French Reef. The captain anchored the vessel and they began fishing. 
  
  At approximately 1500 hours, the occupants noticed that there was more water than normal inside the boat. The captain inspected the bilge and battery compartments and noticed that compartments were full of water. The vessel had then lost power and the captain was unable to start the boat as more water was entering the boat. The occupants on board managed to call for assistance by cellphone as the captain attempted to use signal flares to gain attention of any nearby vessels. 
  
  The POB explained that they began to put on their personal floatation devices and that with approximately ten to fifteen minutes later the vessel pitched to the side and capsized with the hull protruding from water. They climbed onto the hull and waited for recovery response. Within approximately thirty minutes a USCG and Tow Boat US vessel arrived at the capsized vessel and began recovering the vessel occupants. All people recovered were uninjured and refused any medical assistance.
  
  The owner of the vessel arranged with Tow Boat captain to recover the vessel. The vessel was found while still capsized and at anchor, recovered, and towed to John Pennekamp State Park marina at approximately 2100 hours. The Tow Boat captain assisted owner in getting the vessel put on a trailer and retrieved from the water.
