At approximately 5:15pm as I was heading back to Callville Bay Harbor, I noticed the motor began to lose power.  The water was choppy and the motor could not keep up with the current.  Within minutes, the motor had completely stalled and would not restart.  My wife got on the phone to call for help.  She was told due to the previous number of distress calls, there was no one available at the moment.  With no power and the strength of increasing wind, we were steadily drifting toward a rocky area of land.  By this time, the boat had taken on a good amount of water from the waves.  The boat hit up against a rocky cliff where everyone was able to exit the boat to safer grounds.  I then began to try and secure the boat, until help arrived.  With the waves smashing it up against the rocks, I could see it was slowly being torn up.  Water was now totally covering the floor of the boat.  The one side that was pinned up against the rocks, was beginning to get smashed in several areas.  We were able to flag down a few passing boats but they could offer no help due to the roughness of the water.  We continued to call for help and were told it would be a couple hours before that would happen.  Around 10-10:30pm we were finally rescued by Lake Mead Harbor Patrol.  The next morning I went back to try and retrieve the boat and it was still too rough and even the harbor told me they would not be able to help.  When I got to the boat it was obvious the boat had taken on much more water.  I tried to secure it to land as best I could, as it appeared to have broken free and began to drift.  Slowly the boat began to go under.
