RedactedNarrative: Operator and 3 friends went out fishing the day before at around 11 a.m.  A wave washed in through the rear of the boat at about 3:00 p.m.  He tried to grab a bucket to bale some of the water out.  But just then another quick wave came through the rear.  He tried to start the motor, but it would not turn over.  He reached for the readio to call in a mayday, but he never reached it.  The boat suddenly was in the air and everyone was jumping from the boat.  They looked for life jackets and eventually found them locked in the boat but were able to get them out.  One person said he could not swim and was floating away from the boat.  A boat seat was close to him, but he could not grab it, and went under.  The other three also found rope in the boat.  They now had their life jackets on and tied themselves to the boat.  The next day one of them decided to swim for shore.  He did and called 911.  The others were picked up by the sheriff's boat.  The victim (drowned) washed up on shore the next day.  Two of he passengers were treated for hypothermia.
