RedactedNarrative: The Operator and two Occupants onboard Vessel 1 were fishing off Conneaut Harbor when the group decided to stop fishing and return to port as the waves were getting too rough for Vessel 1.  At this time Vessel 1 was anchored from the bow with the wind and waves coming out of the northwest.  One of the Occupants started pulling the anchor line in, attaching a buoy to keep it afloat, while the Operator started the engine on Vessel 1 and idled forward as the Occupant continued to pull the anchor line in.  During this operation, the motor stopped on Vessel 1, and Vessel 1 drifted abeam to the wind and waves.  Shortly thereafter Vessel 1 took a couple of waves over  the side, causing Vessel 1 to fill with water and capsize.  Just prior to the capsizing, one of the Occupants was able to radio the US Coast Guard regarding their impending predicament.  Following the capsizing, all three persons onboard were able to climb back on top of the hull of the capsized Vessel 1.  The three were able to signal to a passing charter vessel, who took all three onboard and transported them to shore.  Another charter vessel was able to tow Vessel 1 back to Conneaut Harbor where the owner and local residents succeeded in righting it (using a backhoe) and getting it back on the trailer.
