I hope everyone was ok and they had good insurance. Perhaps they had an engine failure.

Otherwise, DUH?????

Dixie bar on a calm day can be pretty rough! All the water from the delta running south down the eastern side of the bay and meets the Gulf currents. That is dixie bar. That is like the 6th vessel in 5 years. Hope everyone was ok. Its a couple hundred yard swim to the beach in nasty currents.
