Two men headed out onto Sodus Bay in a 14-foot open motorboat to do some fishing.  One of the men made the fatal decision to anchor the boat at the stern.  Water soon began to enter the boat over the stern, causing it to lower, and allow yet more water to enter.  The vessel soon capsized, and both men were thrown into the cold, choppy water, neither one wearing a lifejacket.  They clung to the side opf the small vessel for perhaps 30 minutes when one of the men was no longer able to maintain his grasp.  The other man, already suffering from hypothermia for which he would later be hospitalized, was unable to assist him, and he drifted away.  To date search efforts have been unable to locate the missing man, who is presumed dead.  Alcohol was not a factor in this incident.
