RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was anchored approximately 10 feet off of the south beach of Shell Key, in Buncess Pass. The vessel was anchored with two anchors, front and back, with the bow facing the beach. A very strong Thunder Storm came through the area, bringing very strong winds and high seas. The operator began to pull anchor. As he did so the  vessel took several waves over the stern. The vessel began to fill with water. The operator passed out life jackets and everyone from the vessel walked to the beach.
  
    No one onboard the vessel was injured. The vessel sank in about four feet of water. The next day the vessel was salvaged by Tow Boat USA at the owners request and brought to the nearby boat ramp and recovered to its trailer.
