Boating Safety Awareness Day at Black Point Marina

As a part of the Florida life style residents enjoy their days of water activities, water sports , waverunner ,snorkeling, water ski and wakeboarding, tubes and banana boat rides.

Castellanos was part of a 12-man group that left Black Point Marina last July 2007 for Elliot Key. While the group was returning to the marina, Castellanos fell overboard of the boat. The Coast Guard searched for him all night and day with boats and helicopters. He may have collided with the vessel and once you had been knocked and unconscious is the minute that you're unfortunately going to drown.
