Victims boat left the safety of the cove and entered the main body of the lake. Winds of 45 plus MPH were common and survivors stated that when the first waves came over the boat the engine died and the boat lost power. The boat swamped and then capsized within minutes. Survivor barely had time to make a distress call on his cell phone. All three victims attempted to stay together but were swept away by the waves in the wind. All three victims were wearing Type 3 PFD''s. Two victims were rescued by KDWP and USACOE personnel but the third was not located until later on the opposite side of the lake.
