The boat anchor snagged on something in the high water and pulled the boat down, which caused it to take on water.  The boat eventually sank and operator went into the water.  Due to high water conditions, operator floated downriver until he was spotted by a bystander who helped him reach shore.
  
  Operator and a couple bystanders attempted to retrieve the boat, but were unsuccessful.  The boat has never been found.
