On 5 September 2013,  I was notified by operator1 that he and two others were in a boat that was swamped by a cabin cruiser just south of the Florence Bridge on 31 August 2013. Operator1 stated a female been knocked down and had broken her collar bone. Operator1 stated this was a result of the cabin crusier going by them too fast, which produced a wake that threw them into the water and caused his boat to sink. Operator1 stated the crusier had the name of Endless Love on the back of it.  Operator1 stated at the time they were anchored to the east side of the river while fishing and did not have time to pull anchor to avoid wake from oncoming boat. Operator1 stated he blew his whistle but got no response from boat operator of cabin cruiser.

 I asked Operator1 why he waited so long to report the accident- Operator1 stated he did not know. Operator1 indicated the other occupants in the boat were from Indiana. 

On 17 September Operator1 returned the statements to me. I informed Operator1 at that time that CPO II had attempted to locate the boat Endless Love, but was unable to do so. The Coast Guard had no record. Operator1 stated at this time he also lost several rodand reels and some other equipment from boat. 

On 1 October I was contacted by victim. She informed me she had discovered the owner of the craft that had swamped her. She gave me the name. victim stated she found information on the internet. I attempted several times to contact the subject at this number with no luck.
