The two Occupants aboard Vessel 1 had fished at various places within the breakwall and had been anchored for half an hour approximately 150 yards off the East 72nd Fishing Access when the Operator noticed that the anchor was not holding and Vessel 1 was drifting into the rocks.  The Operator raised the anchor and tried to restart Vessel 1, but the engine would not restart.  The Operator then attempted to reset the anchor again, but it would not hold.  Vessel 1 then drifted into the rocks, damaging the propeller and the starboard-side turn of the bilge.  After setting off distress signals, ODNR Watercraft and the Coast Guard responded to the scene.  Vessel 1 was then pulled off the rocks and towed back to the Gordon Launch Ramp.
