According to Operator, his boat was at anchor and drifting. About 30 minutes later the boat began to take on water from the waves. The bilge was filled with water and the boat began to sink.  Occupant tried to loosen the anchor line and water came in so fast as the boat sank.  Occupant stayed with the boat by holding onto the bow rail.  Operator and occupant2 started to swim back shore.  Operator reported that it took him 20-30 minutes to get to shore.  He looked over at occupant2 and noticed that his swimming slowed down and then occupant2 stopped moving.   Occupant clinging to the boat was rescued by jamestown fire.   Jamestown fire chief reported that a body identified as occupant2 was found washed up on shore approximately 1/3 mile south of the vessel.  Both Operator and occupant were taken to newport hospital and were later released.
