RedactedNarrative: On Monday May 30, 2011 at 1510 while patrolling Lake Manawa, WPO was flagged down by a boater on the lake that someone needed help in the NW part of Lake Manawa.  I was notified and made contact with the owner of a red and white 1967 Sea Sprite, registration IA 6558 BG.  Owner was having trouble with his motor and while working on the engine, the rough waves caused the boat to take on water.  When I arrived, the boat was capsized.  No injuries were reported by the owner or occupant.  Due to the high winds, WPO had Owner tie the boat off to a tree along the shore.  For the safety of myself and the others I did not tow the vessel to the boat ram, due to the high winds and rollers on the water.  Pottawattamie County was on a High Wind Advisory with winds at 25mph or higher.  During the time I was assisting with Owner there were 3-4 foot rollers on the lake.
