RedactedNarrative: BASED ON INFORMATION TO DATE:  
  
  The Rhea County Sheriff's office did contact TWRA dispatch about a vessel that had capsized near the Highway 60 bridge in Meigs County.  The were 4 people on board and all of them were in the water.  I responded along with TWRA Officer 2 and Officer 3.  The Meigs County Sheriff's Office was also dispatched and and one of their deputies did find all 4 people rescued by a passing vessel and brought to shore near the River Haven subdivision in Meigs County.
  
  The operator of the vessel indicated they were out in the main river channel heading downriver into the wind when their vessel went down into the trough between two waves and the water crashed over the front of the vessel.  The vessel did swamp with water and then capsize ejecting all persons on board.
  
  Two of the men stayed with the swamped/overturned vessel while two persons did swim for a nearby duck blind on a sandbar.  One of the men on the boat was able to call 911 while the other two waved down a passing vessel for assistance.
  
  All 4 men were rescued and the vessel was recovered on 12/30/2009 by Towboat US.
  
  This concludes my investigation unless new information arrises.
