For the second consecutive year, a visitor to Navarre Beach from Louisiana drowned in the Gulf of Mexico. The body of the most recent victim, 19-year-old Nathan Hughey from Pinesville, La., was recovered May 23. Last July, 39-year-old Jeremy Johnson from New Orleans drowned. In both cases, the victims entered the water west of the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier, which does not have lifeguard coverage.
