Vessel was traveling north towards Sportsman's Park when the waves began to get larger.  The operator turned around and began travelling back south close to the shore to avoid the larger waves.  The vessel struck an outcropping of rocks that were approximately 1 foot under the water and began taking on water.  The vessel was stuck on the rocks and all four occupants had to be transferred off of the vessel and transported to the dock.  The vessel was lodged on the rocks and due to weather conditions was left there until the next morning.  During the night the reservoir raised and the wind gusts were very strong dislodging the vessel from the rocks.  The vessel was towed in from a small cove just south of Sportsman's Park to Sportsman's Park.  The vessel has several holes on the center line of the vessel including one approximately 8"x8" where a stabilizer fin was ripped off.  The vessel also had damage on both sides of the vessel and the keel and prop were badly damaged.
