THE VESSEL WAS ANCHORED WHILE THE FOUR OCCUPANTS WERE FISHING. THEY WERE FIGHTING A FISH WHEN THEY NOTICED WATER FILLING UP THE STERN OF THE BOAT. THEY IMMEDIATELY CUT THE ANCHOR ROPE AND STARTED BAILING WATER. THE CAPTAIN PUT THE BOAT IN GEAR AND TRIED TO GET ON PLANE UNSUCCESSFULLY. THEY GOT OUT A LIFE RAFT AND EXITED AS THE BOAT SANK STERN FIRST.
