Vessel A departed a marina after delivering a larger sailing vessel for seasonal haulout. Vessel A is described as a small aluminum watercraft with a 4hp motor. The transit was to be a several mile voyage to return its mooring. The weather conditions were such that a choppy sea with heavy current had formed. The vessel was reported overdue and a search ensued. Vessel A was found during the night submerged and overturned with it's operator missing. Vessel A's sole occupant victim #1 was found a few days later deceased, washed up on an adjoining shoreline wearing his flotation device.
