RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 loaded his kayak with a large amount of camping equipment in preparation for one week of camping. He had equipment inside the kayak and an 80 pound backpack loaded on top of the kayak. He launches from the state boat launch in windy weather. He was paddling on the southwest side of the pond when he felt like may have hit a submerged object. His kayak flipped over and due to the heavy load in and on the kayak, he was unable to right the kayak. He held onto the overturned kayak for about 1 1/2 hours while he yelled for help. Eventually someone heard him and called 911.
