RedactedNarrative: Vessel and all occupants were at Float-A-Palooza in the boat swim area at the southwest side of the lake. They were there for approximately 11 hours. While there, Occupants 2-4 admitted to drinking alcoholic beverages. The Operator was also seen drinking alcoholic beverages. At approximately 8:30 PM they left to go to Vessel 1's dock on the other side of the lake. 
  
  While crossing the lake the Operator's hat blew off. He turned the boat and made two circles around it before drifting to it being approximately 20 fl. off the starboard side. The Operator then jumped in from the Operator Station, swam to the hat, and grabbed it. After about a minute the others noticed the Operator was treading water and not returning to the boat. Occupant 4 noticed the Operator's lips were blue/purple. Occupant 4 jumped in from the starboard side, swam to the Operator, and helped support him. The wind was pushing the vessel away from the two of them. Occupant 4 yelled to Occupants 2 and 3 to bring the boat to them. They were unable to operate the vessel. Occupant 4 then left the Operator and swam to Vessel 1. 
  
  Occupant 4 got on Vessel I and brought it near the Operator. The vessel approached so that the Operator was just off the starboard stern of the vessel. Occupants 2 and 3 sat on the transom to pull the Operator in. He was having a harder time keeping his head above water. Just before they could reach him the Operator went below the surface of the water. The boat passed over where he was but did not strike him. 
  
  Occupants 2 and 4 jumped in and searched for the Operator. They were unable to locate him. They got back on Vessel 1. Occupant 2 called 911. Occupant 4 then started going in circles to stay in the area and search for the Operator. They stayed on scene until help came then went to the public launch ramp.
  
  Several agencies responded and began to search. The Operator was found deceased the next evening by sonar operators. His body was recovered by divers. 
  
  The Medina County Coroner ruled the death accidental with the cause of death drowning. His blood alcohol level was found to be 0.322.
