RedactedNarrative: Around mid-morning on Sunday April 16, 2023, Game Wardens and I received a call from the Calaveras Lake Park office regarding a boat that had sunk on Calaveras Lake.  We responded and made contact with the two men who were involved.  It was revealed to us by them that while out on the lake, they began experiencing mechanical problems with their vessel.  
  
  They were able to flag down another boater for assistance.  While being towed in, their boat began taking in water, suddenly capsized and then sank.  Another vessel approached and that boater was able to remove both men from the water.  They were then taken to boat ramp #1 and notified the front office.  Listed below is the information for the involved persons. 
   
  
  Registered boat owner.  Mr. borrowed the boat from his friend that morning.  He was home when the vessel sunk after capsizing.    
  
  Boat operator who picked them from the lake and brought them to the boat ramp.
  
  We were unable to secure the information from the boater who initially started towing because they had left the park before we arrived.   
  
  After the interviews, we launched our patrol boat to see if we could locate the sunk vessel using our side scan sonar.  We were giving a decent area to search.  We came across what may or may not be the boat and its tow line floating and an underwater anomaly at these coordinates: 
  
  We were able to mark the location with an orange floating device that can be seen by the public.  
  
  On Wednesday April, 19, Progressive Insurance secured the services of a boat recovery company and removed the vessel from Calaveras Lake.
