Heard about this at several boards. Some guys fishing the backside on friday anchored and went to sleep. Evidently there was a current change that put their stern to the swell and they swamped and rolled. Avolon lifeguards found them clinging to the hull a few hours later. Evidently they got out a call before it turned over. Heres what it looked like from the top gun on saturday morning.

The boat upside down will still at anchor. You can find more on this at the Allcoast private board.

Just be carefull out there.

Tight lines Jim
