capsized vessel at K Tower yesterday during storm?

That's news to me, real curious now though.

We were of shore, and lightning and weather ran in around 1pm- had to go up the Econfina river. Super nice FWC guy, Kent Harvey, gave me a ride to the Lighthouse so I could get my truck and tailer. Heard it on his radio. All people safe they said.

Kent Harvey's a good guy.

I want to hear more about this one- We were out there and scooted home when we saw that black wall coming!

I bet I know what boat it was, Bman! That guy who was anchored up on the East side of the tower - I bet his boat was about 21-23 feet and was a walk-around/cabin cruiser. He was anchored when we lost visual contact with him. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

BTW - the Grunt was delicious! LOL!!!

Yes, I have heard several stories of boats capsizing, and depending on who you talk to the number grows. We were out by Yamaha in a 19' Cape Horn, and I am just glad we made it back safe.

There was a BC flats boat out there, and my future brother in law and I kept discussing how there is no way we would have rode out that far in it, although it was a beautiful morning and flat. I hope they made it in ok.

I will keep suscribed to this post, as I would like more info as well.

PS: I have always wanted to see a water spout, just not 3 while I was 25 miles offshore.

Speaking of which. I know captkeyser was going to Otower that day. I spoke with him at Crums. Anyone heard from him?

The boat that capsized was named Bad Influence. All persons were safely recovered and the boat was recovered yesterday and brought into Carrabelle.

Any info on make, model, how many were on board?
