Operator of vessel #1 had little boating experience and he and witness #1 departed to test drive the vessel, which had just been repaired.  After the test run, the vessel was anchored to fish.  After a while operator #1 observed that the anchor line did not seem to be secured properly.  He tried to grab it before the bitter end got over the side into the water.  He failed to get it and jumped or fell into the water after it.  There was a strong flood current and the operator could not 
swim to the boat and the passenger knew very little about boats and was unable to operate it.  Victim went under and did not resurface.
No indications of foul play.
