  On Saturday, June 22, 2013, I conducted an interview occupant at his residence located. He relayed:
  •	Operator was operating my boat because he is a better operator and knew the waters better than I.  
  •	We were planning on going out about 27 miles to do some fishing. 
  •	About 5 to 7 (35-50 minutes into the trip) miles out past the last Horseshoe channel marker the            
                    water kept getting rougher.  
  •	We decided it was too rough and then turned around to head back in.
  •	Once we turned the waves were hitting us head on, 
  •	Water came over the bow and was filling the boat.
  •	The bilge pump could not keep up with the amount of water coming in.
  •	I went to the front and removed three lifejackets from one of the compartments and told everybody 
                     to put them on.
  •	I was about to go to the second compartment for a lifejacket for myself. 
  •	I told Operator to push the "May Day" button on the VHF radio. 
  •	Operator was attempting to use the VHF radio to give our coordinates but was unfamiliar with it 
                     because I had just bought it.
  •	Water and waves were making it impossible to see at this point.
  •	The bow went up, water rushed to the stern, water started coming over the transom and the boat 
                     rolled over on the port side.
  •	The Tee Top dragged Operator and I deeper under the water than the other two. 
  •	We were all trying to hang on but it was really hard because of the waves pounding us.
  •	occupant2 had a lifejacket on.
  •	Operator had a lifejacket but was unable to get it on; he just had his arm through it.
  •	I had no lifejacket, was unable to get to it before the boat capsized.
  •	I remember it was only maybe five minutes after we rolled over when I saw Occupant2 holding onto Disappeared1, he was face down in the water, I saw no sign of life in him, there was no doubt that Disappeared1 was dead. 
  •	Occupant2 had a very hard time holding onto Disappeared1's body and had to let him go.  
  •	Operator was on the front bow area but was taking a pounding by the waves.
  •	occupant2 was holding on the bow eye.
  •	I was kind of sitting on the bottom of the ladder which was on the starboard stern and holding onto 
                    the ski eye.
  •	Operator saw the yellow ski rope we used as a tag line (tied to the bow eye) floating back by 
  me.
  •	I located the rope and tied it to the motor and that's what we used to stay with the boat.
