On 09/01/12 at approximately 13:25, USCG Nature's Way Endeavor (NWE) received a call regarding a capsized vessel on the ICW approximately 8 miles South of Port Mansfield, Texas. NWE on-scene time was 13:17. NWE observed two people holding on to Vessel 1. NWE's report states that they observed that one of the two passengers was wearing her PFD. NWE's report states that the owner operator sustained injures to his left ankle and EMS was dispatched to Port Mansfield, TX.

On 09/24/12 I contacted Operator who advised me that he was participating in the Rough Riders run from Port Mansfield, TX to South Padre Island, TX.  Operator stated that he was traveling Southbound on the ICW and a 35mph gust hit the boat. Operator stated that the boat capsized and he sustained injuries to his left ankle and two left ribs. Operator stated that no damage was sustained to his vessel.
