While in operation the motor on Vessel 1 failed (with two persons on board).  The Operator attempted to anchor, however the anchor did not hold.  Vessel 1 then drifted into the rocks at the north end of the water outlet at the power plant.  The Operator had an appointment on shore at around this time and as a result both the Operator and the Occupant left the vessel on the rocks and departed the area.  Following the Operator's appointment he returned to Vessel 1 and requested that the Occupant also return to Vessel 1 with a pump.  When the Occupant arrived on scene and boarded Vessel 1 the water was up to knee-level.  Vessel 1 was determined to have too much damage for the pump to be effective and the Operator and Occupant then called for assistance to be returned to shore and to tow Vessel 1 to the ramp
