Operator and passengers stated the vessel was originally at anchor about 100 feet off shore in Lake Michigan. The group was planning on going tubing, although they decided against it due to the rough water conditions. They decided to go out for a cruise on the water instead. As they were pulling the anchor and maneuvering the vessel to head out, with all three people on board a large wave came over the front of the boat and nearly filled the front portion with water. As subject was bailing water out of the front, another large wave came and took her overboard. She quickly re-boarded the vessel only to jump off again shortly after on her own and swam to the nearby sandbar about 50 feet away. The vessel came to rest soon after on the same sandbar. All occupants then safely exited the vessel uninjured.
