Rough seas may have caused a 61 year old Jupiter man to fall off his fishing charter boat today while entering the Jupiter Inlet.
The 51-foot commercial fishing boat "Water Dog" was entering the inlet when a person fell overboard. According to witnesses a man fell off the boat's bridge and was seen clinging to the side of the boat before he fell in.
A Jupiter lifeguard that witnessed the accident unfold said the boat hit a large wave.
Officials say the victum was 61-yr-old Thomas Henry. He is the captain of the vessel and was onboard along with 5 paying customers and 1 mate at the time.
Lifeguards pulled Henry from the water and were able to revive him.
Friends say Henry suffered a broken neck, broken ribs, and water in his lungs and is on life support.
He is listed as critical condition in ICU.
Get Well Capt. Henry. A real friend.
In my backyard a couple from England entered illegelly, anchored offshore and took dingy into the beachfront restaraunt for lunch. Sailboat broke it's mooring and came crashing ashore. They went to jail.
Exact same place 2 days later a 35-foot powerboat washed ashore. Officials found 1,000 pounds of marijuana aboard. A Cuban resident was taken to jail
