RedactedNarrative: On 9-10-11 Off. received an Incident Report and other documents from Baywatch RI regarding an incident that occurred on June 10, 2011.  Off. reported that Baywatch received a call for help at 2:35 am from captain of the vessel Georgia (USCG 1160663) .  Operator advised that he was aground and required assistance.  Baywatch responded to the location and rendered assistance.  The boat was aground on the rocks and being rocked by waves w/ operator uninjured and standing by on Georgia.   Baywatch secured the Georgia in a stern tow and was underway towards the entrance of Great Salt Pond, BI.  Waves were crashing over his stern so Baywatch secured Georgia in a starboard side tow and began deploying a dewatering pump when a large wave swamped the stern of the Georgia and was now taking on more water than the pump could handle.  Operator was assisted to the side of the Baywatch vessel as the lines from Georgia were released due to Georgia going down an pulling the Baywatch vessel down.  Operator was clinging to the side of the Baywatch boat and was assisted on board and unharmed. The Georgia was submerged just under the water line.  Operator was transported to the BI Boat Basin and was evaluated by EMTs and released.  He was then transported to Bay Watch dispatch office to dry his clothes.  The Georgia was refloated and towed back to Brewers Yacht Yard in Warwick.
