My guess is that it was a hallucination, possible drug or alcohol-induced.
Sea serpent sightings remain abundant all over the world.
The fact is, he was right about his friends dying. (A body washed to shore - 3 others; Warren Salley, Eric Ruyle, and Larry Bill, of Falt Walton Beach, were left unaccounted for - they were never seen again, despite a search.)
I think the only thing that could properly discount his tale is an autopsy report of BR. Surely the autopsy report would mention bite marks or bruises if they were there? Something a ''sharp'' set of teeth would do.
I'm not doubting they drowned there. Like I said, that's a really dangerous place to be in such a small vessel. The missing boys were probably drowned too, then were swept out to the Gulf, then picked apart by sharks or fish. Nothing surprising.
But why didn't he just say it was a shark or other large fish, over an animal many (excluding Edward McCleary and cryptozoologists) deem to be mythical? If I recall correctly, Edward received a lot of public ridicule, and went into isolation.
Some animals don't hang around. You could see a blue whale off Pensacola coast one day and the next it's 100 miles away, out to sea.
