On June 13, 2013 the named individuals decided to try to canoe to Gilligans Island.  Operator was paddling the canoe while Subject was riding in an intertube that was being hauled behind the canoe.  They paddled out to the main lake and realized that the waves, current, and wind were too strong for them to make it to the island.  They turned around to paddle back to the boat ramp and Operator got tired of paddling and wanted to switch places with Subject. Subject jumped out of the intertube and swam to the canoe and made it, however Operator jumped out of the canoe with the paddle in hand and was immediately swept away by the waves, current, and wind.  She was not strong enough to swim back to the canoe or the intertube. Subject did not have the paddle to paddle toward Operator and they kept getting farther, and farther away from each other until Subject could no longer see Operator.  Subject called 911 and reported the incident and OEM arrived on scene and picked Subject up.  They went back to where she last saw Operator and found her still treading water.  Operator tread water for approximately 30 minutes and reported that she went under water twice and swallowed alot of water.  Emergency personnel decided to transport her for further evaluations for taking in so much water.  She was evaluated and released from the hospital in under 1 hour with no further injuries. My investigation is complete.
