On august 26, 2012 operator and three friends launched his boat at teaches lair in hatteras at 6:000am to go fishing in the ocean.  Operator stated that at 10:51 am they were coming into hatteras inlet from the ocean back into the sound.  Operator stated the inlet was rough maybe 6 foot seas.  Operator also stated that a large wave maybe 12 foot picked up the stern (rear) of the boat and then rolled the boat to the left side before he could react; the boat then capsized.  Operator and his three friends stayed with the boat for about 20 minutes until the us coast guard came and picked them up.  Operator stated that no one was wearing a personal flotation device.  Operator' boat came ashore about 3 miles away on ocracoke island.
