Pat Reiter Update.
During a test run of the "Hot Licks" boat that Pat Reiter had just completed rigging in the Patuxent River near Solomons Island Maryland, at approximately 4:45 pm on Sunday October 12th , 2008 an accident occurred.
Pat Reiter was driving,
Bobby Baumgarten on throttles.
Passengers, Josh Reithmeyer and Kenneth Weisskopf.
The boat was traveling up river from Solomons Island and going around point patience, #8 red marker, the boat suddenly hooked and went into a barrel roll. This information comes from Josh Reithmeyer and Tim Kiser, the fisherman that aided in rescuing victims afloat. Cause of the accident is yet unknown. The boat was taken by DNR for investigation.
Josh Reithmeyer was released from the hospital the same evening. Kenneth has a laceration to his leg and is still in the hospital. Bobby B has a lacerated kidney, broken ribs and concussion. Bobby is still in the hospital as well.
The rescue and search started immediately including the Coast Guard, Helicopters, DNR, State Police and went on into the night on Sunday the 12th.
The search picked back up early in the morning of Monday the 13th. A lot of friends with their own vessels, DNR, Coast Guard, Dive and rescue teams, and local search and rescue teams, searched the shore lines, and the river where the accident occurred. The search was called off at around 7m. This search will resume on Tuesday the 14th.
As of 7:00pm on Monday, Pat has not been found.
Mark Boyer (sorry if I don't have your name correct) send me the following information:

Tuesday October 14th:
Search started at day break conducted by friends of Pats. DNR and rescue team, Dive rescue teams, and others joined in shortly thereafter. Helicopter took flight at around 2:00pm to help in the search throughout the day.
Bobby and Kenneth are recovering and doing better, all things considering.
I just wanted to recognize and commend everyone from "Constellation Energy" that know and work with Pat. They have been on site supplying everyone here, from rescue teams, to friend and family, with food, beverages, and support. Do not let this overshadow all the support from all the friend and family that have been on site since this all started. I commend all of you equally.

Thursday October 16th:
Search this morning started at day break. DNR had side sonar equipment in the water and were searching the site of the accident. Soon there after, Solomons Island Rescue and A.A. County advance search and rescue team with their sonar equipment joined in the search.
Multiple boats from friend and crew took turns doing surface search throughout the day.
Bobby B and Kenny are doing well.
Once again, the boat ramp was full of friends supporting Deb, Dustin, Cody and their families.
Friday October 17th: We Have Pat Back.
After searching all day, the Patuxent River finally gave us Pat back.
Tim Kiser, the fisherman that aided in rescuing the victims on Sunday, found Pat Reiter at around 7:30 pm about 400 yards from the original accident. A second boat consisting of , Mike Murray, Ann and Jimmy Raider and myself joined Tim shortly there after. Daren and Jimmy were the third boat there.
This puts closure to the recovery of Pat Reiter for all of us.
All of us want to thank the U.S. Coast Guard, State Police, the Department of Natural Resources, Calvert County and A.A. County advance search and rescue teams, Solomons Island Fire and Rescue teams, Charles County Fire and Rescue teams, and others that searched for Pat since Sunday.
Thanks to all that supported by providing food, drinks and other accommodations.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Deb, Dustin and Cody.

When I was selling my 29' Pat and I talked a couple of times about our boats. After selling mine I refered everyone to Pat's boat and even posted a link to help him. RIP Pat!
