Capsized Boaters Use "Rock, Paper, Scissors" To Decide Who Gets Help

Rough water capsized a boat in the Indian River and the people on board used a popular game to decide who would go for help.

The three boaters said their vessel started taking on water around 1:00pm Sunday. When they stopped the boat to work on the problem, some large waves tipped the boat over.

The passengers were able to climb on top of the capsized vessel.

"We played 'rock paper scissors' to see who would have to swim back," said boater James Elmore.

The boaters waited about seven hours to be rescued. All three people onboard were not seriously injured.
