After the Coast Guard took him to a hospital, they went off looking for the 6 other people who were on board when the boat capsized.
The boat was on its way to Florida after departing from the Bahamas.
At the same time, a second search began for 10 people who were reportedly aboard an makeshift vessel that departed from Havana, Cuba
