Vessel #1 was proceeding south along the east dike of Willard Bay when a serious storm with very high winds and rain hit the area.  The small aluminum boat with its two passengers and only 15 horsepower motor were unable to withstand the storm.  The operator decided to head for the rock dike and when they got to the dike and were able to get out on land the wind and waves beat the boat into an non-seaworthy condition.  They attempted to keep boat from beating against the dike but were unable to save it.
