Two people HAD BEEN FISHING ON THE CASHIE RIVER FOR MOST OF THE DAY.  THEY HAD LAUNCHED THE BOAT FROM SANS SOUCI ACCESS AREA THAT MORNING.  WHEN DOCKING AT THE ACCESS AREA, the occupant who was in the bow WAS GOING TO GET OFF AND BACK HIS VEHICLE WITH THE TRAILER TO RETRIEVE THE VESSEL.  the occupant WAS STANDING ON A RAISED SURFACE AT THE FRONT OF THE BOAT BEFORE THEY GOT TO THE PIER.  WHEN the occupant STEPPED OFF THE VESSEL ONTO THE PIER, HE LOST HIS FOOTING AND FELL INTO THE WATER.  occupant DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM AND WAS NOT WEARING A LIFE JACKET AT THE TIME.  the operator TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO THROW the victim A LIFE JACKET AND A TYPE IV THROW CUSHION FLOTATION DEVICE.  UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FLOTATION DEVICE, the victim STAYED ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER A SHORT TIME BEFORE HE DISAPPEARED.
