I talked to the owner and the operator. He stated that he did not need any medical attention. He stated what had happened was there was a wave that came over the side and into the boat, and normally the bilge pump would pump it out, but then another wave came in and the water came over on the port side and then the boat got swamped and then capsized. The waves when we went to recover the vessel were 2 to 3 feet and sometimes 3 to 4 feet. He stated that one person left and swam with the baby and he and another individual stayed with the vessel and climbed up on top of the bow of the vessel. He also stated that they had just begun to troll with the little electric motor when the event happened. 

She was reminded that it was a good idea they stayed with the vessel, as they did not have life jackets on and a very good possibility that they would not have made it.
