Default Another boat goes down near Pensacola

Another one, a "20' Wellcraft". This time the three men (apparently
capsized while trying to unhook their anchor) were saved after 21hrs in the
drink. Almost by pure chance. The good thing they did is quickly put on
the life jackets, tie themselves together and hang on to the upside down
capsized boat.

In case you missed the last one, a couple drowned only a couple of miles out
(at or near the Massachusetts) apparently with an anchor tied to the stern
and attempting to pull it loose.

This was a few months ago.
