RedactedNarrative: On October 30, 2021, at approximately 1700 hours, boating accident # FWCC21OFF018529 occurred in Tampa Bay, Pinellas County, Florida approximately 200 yards east of the Tierra Verde bridge.

V1’s operator attempted to clear the seaweed out of the water inlet by revving the engine. V1’s engine overheated and stalled. V1 then began drifting and taking on water. V1’s operator threw out the anchor and then called his wife. He then swam to shore with the two small dogs. Pinellas County Sherriff Marine Unit recovered the operator and V1 and transported to Tierra Verde bridge. The operator of V1 did not sustain any injuries.
