I didn't see this thread until just now. My wife and I played hooky for a couple hours last week and got a dive in on that day. When we surfaced there were five helicopters circling overhead about 1000 feet. We thought it was an invasion or something. When we got in the inlet the open fisherman that picked the guy up was just pulling away from the dock. Coast Guard and Homeland Security were also there. Let me tell you - Homeland Security has VERY nice boats.
