RedactedNarrative: While leaving the Bullfrog Government dock for patrol a call came over the radio from dispatch explaining that a boat was sinking in Annie's Canyon at 15:56. Dispatch explained that this came in from a third party and did not have any more information. National Parks Service also heard the call and stated she would confirm the accident due to the fact she was closer.
   
  As NPS arrived on scene (16:17) she advised dispatch that the boat was sinking and there were no injuries. At that point I advised dispatch that I would be en route from buoy 95. While I was en route several other personal boats stopped to render aid to the family. Two kids and two adults (one male, one female) were pulled from the water and placed on unknown personal vessel which took them back to their camp in Stanton creek. The owner of boat remained on scene and would be transferred to NPS boat until I arrived. While the owner of the boat was on NPS boat she began to ask questions about what happened. A witness statement was given to NPS to fill out on 5/25/13 to explain what Operator had told her.  
  
  As I arrived on scene, (16:44) I saw the bow of the vessel sticking straight out of the water. I came along side of NPS boat to find out what had happened. She explained to me that everyone got out of the boat and no one was still inside. She then told me that she had the owner with her and the rest of the party left on a personal vessel back to camp. She also passed on information to me about another vessel who helped rescued the family (I would later contact the individual over the phone). I then had Operator transfer from NPS boat to my patrol boat. A life jacket was placed on Operator as I helped him onto my boat. As Operator boarded my patrol boat I could smell the odor of alcohol. Once Operator was on my boat I sat him down in the front of my boat and began my investigation.
  
   I began asking questions about what took place and asked if he remembered what happened. Operator explained that he could not remember how the boat flipped over. I started off asking who was driving the boat when the accident took place. He said he was driving. I asked if he had any paper work for the boat or a driver's license. He said everything is on the boat and all he had was the swim suit he wearing. He told me that the boat was Coast Guard documented and it was a 31 foot Chaparral with a name of Wish No More. I asked Operator if there were any boats in the area prior to the accident. He said no but when the boat flipped two boats showed up immediately to help out. I also asked if there were any large waves the he might have hit with the vessel that could have rolled it over. He said no not that he remembers. I questioned Operator about which direction he was going during the time of the accident. He said that he was leaving the canyon. I then asked Operator about the rest of the people on board. He said that two of his kids were on board along with his wife and friend. I asked if anyone was hurt or injured he said no and that they went back to camp. I also asked if the kids were wearing life jackets he said no because they were down below in the cabin. I asked if anyone else was wearing life jackets he said no. I finally told dispatch that Aramark would have to come out to retrieve the boat. Dispatch let me know that they would not be out due to the time of day. During my questioning I continued to smell the odor of alcohol even though Operator had been in the water. I also saw Operator had watery, blood shot eyes. He did not speak with a slur, sometimes associated with an intoxicated person. Once we were done with the questioning I began to take some photos of the scene, since his vessel's bow was still out of the water. As I moved my patrol boat around Operator's vessel to take photos I continued to smell the odor of alcohol.
