ST. JOHNS COUNTY, FL -- A small seaplane overturned in the Intracoastal Waterway Tuesday, but nobody was seriously injured.

The plane was taxiing to the middle of the water about a mile north of the Vilano Bridge in preparation for take-off when a gust of wind got under it.

The left wing lifted up, and the right wing hit the water, then the plane flipped over all the way.

The pilot is fine, and the plane was towed back to a dock.
