Any truth to the tale?

Could not find news article to support.

Maybe just too many shootings to report.

I didn't personally see it but heard it on the radio sometime between the run out from 0500 - 0700. 28 Carolina going out with a group of boats started taking on water (why I don't know) and apparently sank rather quickly after that. All persons onboard were picked up by two other boats that were traveling with them and brought back to the beach.

There was quite a bit of debris floating around out there Sunday also......Bob
