A 13-year-old boy was found and pulled onto the boat, and he did not require any medical attention. the 8-year-old was later found and CPR administered as he was transported to Naval Hospital. It was later reported that the 8-year-old boy later passed away at the hospital. This occurred at the tail end of large surf event created by large north swell and a shear line that brought choppy seas due to strong winds, that started January 17th.
