A report was received of a vessel turning tight circles with the operator slumped over the vessel. When deputies arrived on scene, the vessel was still turning circles but there was no one aboard. Joseph's wife stated her husband dropped her and their son off and he went back out to continue fishing and asked her to pick him up at 18:00 hours. She also said the boat had been running fine. Joseph's hat and personal item were retrieved from the water.
