ship wrecked (capsized)
This rental boat capsized off the Florida Keys.
There was only one boat and I believe 6 people on board. We arrived on scene just several mins after a large swell took the boat under.
I whipped out my camera and dove in. We helped them gather up their belongings and encouraged them to put on their life vests.
This occurred about 8 miles offshore. We called the Coast Guard for them and within mins the helicopters arrived.
The family was visiting from Colorado. It just happened to be the most busy time of year in the Keys (Mini Season for Spiny Lobster). They were just there to Snorkel. We went out to the lighthouse nearby to finish catching our limit for the day. That didn’t happen. We called it a day and thanked Heavenly Father for no loss of life.

Rental boat huh? They weren’t too worried because it wasn’t their boat and they had insurance. Nice day for a swim too. Novels like this hopefully got burned big time by the rental company. They don’t belong in a boat.

Am I the only person who noticed that 2 boats were capsized? How could this happen in seemingly calm waters?
As for having too many people in a boat, there were obviously 2 boats & thus, not too many people in 1 boat.
