It says in that article that another boat came by too close and clipped the rope, causing the anchor to fall in the water.
Then it says he dove down, but the water was only 3-5 feet deep.
And for the prop to be spinning, the motor would pretty much have to be on and in gear. This article has a lot that doesn't make sense.
I can almost gaurentee that they were at the sandbar. It normally does not have this many boats but it has a lot...
If the weather kicked up and the water got rough quick, boats could have been moving all over. With the anchor rope cut his boat would have started moving and someone probably started the motor to keep it from moving to much while he was in the water...

Yeah, I think they said it was the sandbar, but how do you clip an anchor rope so that the anchor falls into the water?
And I still don't understand how someone can drive a boat without taking a test and having a license. Not talking about the guy who died, but someone driving so close that they take out an anchor rope. I see people all the time driving on the wrong side of the boat lane.
