Music: "Not for me" by Barradeen

Thomas Robinett, a 34-year-old Destin local, was ejected from a 20-foot center console vessel in the Choctawhatchee Bay early Sunday afternoon after the boat took an unexplained "hard turn," according Rebekah Nelson, FWC spokeswoman.

Nelson said Robinett was operating the boat.

Another man, 33-year-old Matthew Martinello, was also thrown from the boat Sunday. He was rescued by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office after they responded to reports of the rogue vessel. He was taken to the hospital and released the next day. Nelson said it did not appear that Martinello had been struck by the boat.

The Coast Guard, according to its release, said the boat was found circling in the bay and had struck Robinett while he was stranded in the water.

Nelson, however, said it is unconfirmed whether the boat hit the missing man. She confirmed that the boat was running in circles until it was stopped by a tow company and taken to the Coast Guard Station.

The FWC is investigating the accident.

The worst offense, listed as high priority, was grey water from the hand wash sinks and triple sink found on the ground of the building. The water was draining directly on the ground and pooled under the establishment.

The sink was also unusable and the temperature was unable to reach 100 degrees. There were no paper towels or mechanical hand drying device provided at the sink either.

The restaurant, which has outdoor seating only, also had standing water around the rear east side outside on the ground.

Investigators ordered an immediate closure of the restaurant.

Another violation included the eatery adding a pineapple bar without first getting the plan reviewed and submitted to the city for approval. There was also no proof of state-approved employee training for any of its employees.

The basic violations were ice making machines located outside, the plumbing system in disrepair, plastic silverware not protected from contamination and water leaking from the triple sink and hand wash sink.
