On saturday 4-16-11 at approximately 14:41 i was dispatched by twra dispatcher to shady grove access area, douglas lake, jefferson county, tn for a capsized vessel. I was on scene at approximately 15:00, and learned of Operator's vessel being swamped. The vessel was located on the shoreline at kender rd. The driver and the passenger  were transported from the swamped vessel by the jefferson county rescue squad to the dandridge access area after they had called 911 at approximately 12:00. According to Operator and occupant, the engine of the vessel had recently been worked on, and while they were underway near point 8 when the motor shut off. Due to the high winds and there were 2'' to 6'' waves on the water, when the motor cut off, the waves swamped the boat. They were unable to start the motor back and the boat was blown against the bank, then the large waves began pummeling the boat, rendering them helpless. When i arrived at the disabled vessel, it was submerged on the starboard side, still being swamped by the waves.
