Operator advised that her visor had blown off into the water.  She attempted to recover it several times by vessel, but had no success.  She then shut off the motor and jumped overboard to retrieve it.  The wind and current blew the vessel and operator apart faster than she could recover.  She told a passenger on board to throw a rope, but the attempt was short.  She then told the passenger to throw her a PFD, but the wind caught it and blew it in a different direction.  The passenger had no experience operating a vessel and could not restart the vessel to attempt to get to the operator.  The passenger then notified 911.  The operator advised she attempted to swim back to the vessel and to shore, both unsuccessful.  Six agencies responded to the area and began a search.  i spotted the subject chin deep in the water and my partner and I pulled her aboard, Picked up an EMT from Perdido Beach VFD, and brought her to a waiting ambulance at Emanual Bayou ramp.
