Witness stated that he and his wife were on the shore looking out at the lake when they saw a sailboat capsize. He could see the sailboat completely sink under the water. He stated that he could see people swimming around before the sailboat went under. At this time he could no longer see anyone in the water. This took place about two miles from where we where on shore. Sheriff's boat was sent out to the area and when they got to the general area they observed four people in the water waving at them. They were holding seat floatation devices. The four were pulled into the sheriff's boat. All were tired and cold, but no one needed medical attention. Deputy was told that they were out sailing, when a large wave over turned the sailboat and they were unable to get the sailboat back upright. The sailboat eventually sank. They were able to grab a few seat cushions before they got away and that helped them stay afloat.
