Deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) were answering an emergency call on Tuesday when they were near Morris Bridge Park in Florida when they saw two boaters who were stranded on a tree limb about 3,000 feet down from a boat ramp.
The boat had capsized in the river when the two boaters managed to get to on a tree limb when the deputies with the assistance of employees with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission managed to rescue the two male boater safely.
Bittersweet ending is that the boat floated away and has yet to be recovered even though the two boaters are safe and sound.

That is a good question where the boat is located.

That is true since boats can be replaced while a life cannot replaced.

These people really should take a course on water safety and know how.

More unprofessional boater giving rescuers more work. They are lucky they were rescued and perhaps the boat will show up,
