All I know about the other accident is that the boat possibly rolled.
I will keep checking. Sorry....

Destin accident
Our Dailey news sais it was a 30 ft sunsation boats
1dead, 3 others made it, and are ok.
Very sorry to hear this.
Im gonna assume he had his lanyard on, cause boat was in tact and anchored on a sand bar just to the side of the marked channel near crab island. Thinking he might have made a sharp turn or over corrected to miss hitting a jetski or center console, they got ejected and cause he had his lanyard boat stopped and someone that saw it through is anchor. Just my thoughts based on the little we saw.
Again very sorry to the drivers family for the loss

Last name Shelton. A woman was driving, they hit a wave, boat spun and threw them all out. He was a local here in Destin, and it was not his boat, he was only a passenger. He was married, and had kids.
