The Jax news channel had a video. I'll try to find it. Looked bad.

As reported by a friend on FB, Mike Salber of the Frank and Al's Pizza boat did not survive his injuries:(:(

So sorry to hear that. The race is only 20 minuets from here and I was going to go but had a conflict. I saw this story this am on jacksonville.com.

Very sad. It looks like they were a father\son team. That's got to be devastating. Let's hope that the other 3 make it.
