The news channels are always wanting to be first on the scene, first to report "breaking news". The accuracy seems to be secondary. Somebody apparently said that it happened near the inlet and it was assumed that it was in the inlet.
I have seen that area in the icw get pretty rough, especially in a north wind. The information that was reported that day at the inlet recorded a gust of 31 mph at some point in the day. I don't know what time that was, but I don't think I would have taken that boat out there if it was blowing that strong.
