Vessel 1 had been in operation for approximately one hour when Vessel 1 ran out of fuel.  After being adrift for a short time, the Operator anchored Vessel 1 from the stern on the starboard side.  Winds were strong on the day of the incident causing Vessel 1 to subsequently swamp and then submerge.  The Operator and Occupant aboard Vesse1 1 were then able to swim to shore (approximately 20 yards away) and suffered only minor abrasions.  The Occupant was wearing a PFD, the Operator was not.
