By now, you’ve probably heard of the Mad Decent Boat Party. Now in its second year, the cruise travels from Miami to Cozumel over a four day period and features a long line-up of performers. It’s been described as a four-day-three-night party.

This year’s festival cruise, however, has been marred by tragedy. Twenty-four year old Kaylyn Rose Sommer was seen jumping over the side of the boat Thursday evening at about 7pm while the ship was sailing the Yucatan Channel. Seventy-two hours later, the search by authorities has turned into a recovery mission.

Sommer leaves behind her husband and 6 year old daughter. Our thoughts and prayers remain with her friends and family.
