OPERATOR LAUNCHED TO GO FISHING FROM BOAT DOCK BAY AT LAKE DESMET.  JUST AFTER PASSING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NO WAKE BUOY, THE BOAT STRUCK A SUBMERGED ROCK.  THE OPERATOR STOPPED THE MOTOR AND ROSE THE OUTBOARD DRIVE OUT OF THE WATER.  THE WIND AND WAVES BLEW THE BOAT DIRECTLY TO THE SHORE (ONLY ABOUT 25 TO 30 FEET AWAY).  THERE THE BOAT WAS GROUNDED.  IT TOOK THE OPERATOR MOST OF THE DAY TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP.  THE WIND AND THE WAVES ROCKED THE BOAT BACK AND FORTH CAUSING A FAIR AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BOAT.
