RedactedNarrative: On 05/12/2011, I was informed by Sgt. of a boating accident that occurred on Lake Michigan waters the previous day. I inquired with the Chicago Police Marine Unit regarding the incident and was provided the operator’s personal information and vessel information. I learned Operator was hospitalized and being treated for hypothermia as a result of the accident.
  
  On 05/15/2011, after Operator was released from the hospital, I spoke with Operator regarding the incident. Operator informed me that he and two others were onboard his 19'' sailing boat on 05/11/2011 at approximately 1830 hours on Lake Michigan. He informed me they were sailing a short distance from shore near the mouth of Montrose Harbor. They were on their way back in when the wind shifted to the west. A sudden gust of wind hit his vessel from the port side and capsized his boat over on its starboard side. Operator stated all men were catapulted into the water. Each person were wearing PFD''s and stayed afloat. 
  
  Operator estimated all men were in the water for 45 minutes before his wife and other people arrived on scene to get them out of the water. Operator was transported to the hospital where he was treated for hypothermia and released after a short stay.
  
  Occupant1 was also taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermi and released after a short stay.
  
  Occupant2 refused medical treatment on scene.
  
  Operator's vessel was towed back into the harbor. He reported no structural damage to his vessel.
