ON AUGUST 2, 2009, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 P.M., THE PONTOON BOAT WITH OPERATOR AND OCCUPANTS ON BOARD LEFT THE MARINA AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DAM.  ONCE IN THE CANYON BY THE DAM, THEY FISHED FOR A SHORT TIME AND NOTICED THE WEATHER WAS DETERIORATING AND DECIDED TO HEAD SOUTH, BACK TO FREMONT BAY.  WHEN THEY REACHED THE CENTER OF THE RESEROVIR, LOCATED BETWEEN THE SISTER ISLANDS AND TOUGH CREEK POINT, THE WIND BECAME STRONG AND THE WAVES BECAME ENORMOUS.  WAVE HEIGHTS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE 8-9 FOOT IN HEIGHT.  THE BOAT WENT UP A LARGE SWELL, DOWN INTO THE TROUGH OF THE WAVE AND WHEN THE BOW ROSE INTO THE NEXT WAVE, IT PENETRATED THE WAVE AND WATER FILLED THE TOP DECK.  THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER KEPT THE BOW SUBMEREGED AND THE BOAT LISTED TO THE STARBOARD SIDE.  ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS WAS WASHED OVER THE BOW AND ANOTHER OCCUPANT EITHER JUMPED OR FELL OVERBOARD.  THE BOAT EVENTUALLY RIGHTED ITSELF AND MOST OF THE WATER LEFT THE DECK.  ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS ON BOARD RETRIEVED HIS CELL PHONE AND CALLED 911 FOR HELP.  THE EFFECTS OF THE WIND ON THE BOAT CAUSED IT TO TRAVEL SOUTH AT A SPEED THAT PUT DISTANCE BETWEEN IT AND THE TWO PEOPLE IN THE WATER AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE.  THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WATER FOR A WHILE, BUT EVENTUALLY LOST SIGHT OF THEM.  APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR LATER, THE BOAT FROM THE MARINA LOCATED THE PONTOON BOAT AND THE OCCUPANTS.  THE MARINA BOAT SEARCHED FOR THE TWO PEOPLE IN THE WATER FOR AN HOUR, LOCATING ONE PERSON, AND RETRIEVED HIM FROM THE WATER.  THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND THE OTHER PERSON.  HE HAD DROWNED.
