ON MARCH 21, 2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 HOURS I RECEIVED A REPORT FROM LAKE MEAD INTERAGENCY DISPATCH OF A HOUSEBOAT THAT HAD RUN AGROUND AND WAS REQUESTING ASSISTANCE.  THERE WAS ANOTHER VESSEL, A SMALL MOTORBOAT, TIED OFF TO THE HOUSEBOAT BUT IT WAS INACCESSIBLE DUE TO WATER CONDITIONS.  RANGERS RESPONDED AND WERE ABLE TO ASSIST THE STRANDED PARTY ONTO THE PATROL BOAT FROM THE SHORELINE AND TRANSPORTED THEM BACK TO THE MARINA AT LAS VEGAS BOAT HARBOR.  UPON ARRIVING AT THE MARINA THE OWNER OF THE BOAT,  STATED SUBSTANTIALY TO ME THAT THEY HAD LOST THE PROPELLER FROM THE HOUSEBOAT THE DAY BEFORE AND HAD ANCHORED JUST OUTSIDE THE MARINA TO STAY THE NIGHT AND THAT AT SOME POINT DURING THE NIGHT THE ANCHOR BROKE CAUSING THEM TO DRIFT TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE HOUSEBOAT RAN AGROUND.  BOTH THE HOUSEBOAT AND THE MOTOBOAT SUSTAINED DAMAGE FROM THE ACCIDENT.  THE HOUSEBOAT RUPTURED PONTOON CHAMBERS ON THE PORT SIDE FROM RUNNING AGROUND.  THE MOTOBOAT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE BOW FROM REPEATEDLY HITTING THE HOUSEBOAT THAT IT WAS TIED TO.
