On that date, the captain was conducting parasail excursions. A woman and her daughter were hoisted into the air as wind conditions were deteriorating. The strong winds and a weak tow-line allegedly caused the tow-line to break. The two women fell into the water, resulting in the death of the mother and serious injuries to the daughter. The captain subsequently surrendered his merchant mariner's license.]]>
