On 03/03/2013 at approximately 1600 hours I, Game Warden were contacted by NPS Dispatch and asked to respond to a swamped vessel near the mouth of "Las Vegas Wash"  Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  We located a boat and 4 uninjured  individuals on Black Island.  They were transported in our vessel back to Boulder Harbor. Upon investigation we determined the vessel became swamped due to high wind and waves.  The bilge pump had also shorted out and quit working. These factors combined to cause the accident.  The total damges to the vessel were estimated at $2,500.00.
