RedactedNarrative: At approximately 1830 hours, I made contact Operator. Operator advised that he, and two others were in a single vessel accident on Lake Winder. The vessel took on water and sank. All subjects on board made it ashore safety and without injury. Operator was transported back to Lake Poinsett Lodge by his wife to retrieve his vehicle and trailer.
  the vessel was a blue homemade fiberglass vessel, 13 feet in length with Florida registration numbers FL6744NS. It had a single 25 horsepower Johnson outboard motor.
  I then responded to Operator resident. Operator completed a FWC sworn statement and advised the following: While exiting the mouth of south river into Lake Winder the wave action increased. He attempted to turn toward the east and make his way to a canal on the east side of Lake Winder in an attempt to get to calmer waters. At that time, one to three waves came across the bow of the vessel. The vessel was traveling at approximately 5 mph. The bilge pump could not keep up and the vessel filled with water and sank rapidly. 
  I next made contact with occupant1. Occupant1 completed an FWC sworn statement and advised the following: Shortly after leaving their hunting grounds south of Lake Winder, their motor cut out. The vessel was fixed and they continued north in an attempt to make it back to their truck and trailer. As they entered Lake Winder at approximately 5 mph, it became very choppy. The vessel began taking on water from the wave action. They decided to attempt to make it back to Moccasin Island on the east side of Lake Winder. At that time, a large wave came across the bow and the vessel sank rapidly. 
  I then responded to occupant2’s residence and made contact with him. Occupant2 completed an FWC sworn statement and advised the following: As the vessel was in south river, south of Lake Winder, the motor cut out. They repaired the problem and continued traveling northbound at approximately 5 mph. As they entered Lake Winder, they realized the lake was too choppy and attempted to travel to the canal at Moccasin Island. When the vessel made the turn to the right, water entered the vessel. As the vessel continued more water entered the vessel due to the wave action. The vessel then sank to the bottom.
