Vessel 1 was traveling east at idle speed on the water and parallel with the Calaveras Lake dam and rock wall.  The vessel engine stalled about 250 yards from the shore.  The boat operator attempted to restart the motor, but was unsuccessful.  The operator and the eldest passenger threw an anchor overboard to secure the vessel.  The anchor did not catch and the drifting vessel was taken South by the high wind and rough waves.  The vessel drifted into the rock wall.  A large wake lifted the boat and caused it to land on top of the rocks.  The three occupants exited the boat while up against the rock wall.  The occupants then saw the boat sink into Calaveras Lake.  The three boaters walked along the rock wall to the shore.  They made contact with the front office of the Lake Calaveras Park to call for emergency assistance.  The occupants were wearing lifejackets during the accident.  They were also unharmed.  The wind was blowing South at about 35 mph.  The water was very choppy and hazardous.
