JUNEAU -- A 76-year-old California man on board a boat that flipped outside Juneau
has died.
Robert Earl Lehnhart of Lake Forest was one of seven people thrown into the water
Monday when the 22-foot boat with a canvas top capsized outside of Tee Harbor.
Lehnhart was with family headed back to Juneau after vacationing in the St. James
Bay area.
State Trooper Sgt. Matt Dobson says waves came over the bow and spun the boat so
it took on broadsides, which led to the capsizing. Lehnhart was trapped underneath.
