RedactedNarrative: Synopsis: I responded to a capsized boat at Lake Powell near buoy 15. I overturned the capsized vessel and bailed out the water. I towed the vessel back to Wahweap main ramp where the owner put in on a towing trailer. I inspected the boat and documented the damage. 
  
  On July 11 at approximately 1445 hours I responded to a vessel that was being towed and capsized. I arrived approximately at 1510 hours and observed a house boat near buoy 15 in small cove. The house boat was towing a boat that had capsized.
  
  ACTION TAKEN:
  
  I made contact with the houseboat and identified the owner of the boat. I asked OWNER what had happened, he replied while they were heading back to Wahweap marina a boat made contact with them and told them the boat they were towing was taking on water and had capsized. The passengers in the boat verified what the witness had stated and they pulled into a small cove to seek some shelter from wakes.
  
  OWNER asked what could we do, I told him I could attempt to turn the boat over and then we could bail the water out. OWNER gave me permission to turn his boat over. Two lines were strapped to the port side cleats, one near the bow and one near the stern. I attached the lines to my boat and pulled the lines from the starboard side of the boat successfully turning the boat over. The boat was mostly underwater at this time and I transported it to a nearby beach where the passengers of the houseboat began to bail out the water. After bailing as much water as they could I towed the boat back to Wahweap ramp without incident. OWNER placed the boat on the trailer and pulled it out of the water. 
  
  I inspected the boat for further damage. The bimini top frame was bent. There was engine oil in the motor compartment. There were no other visible damages to the boat but there could be water damage to the electrical, motor, and boat. I collected a witness statement from the operator of the houseboat when accident occurred how was also listed as an owner of the capsized vessel. 
  
  Some of the photos were corrupted and lost during upload and transfer to a computer. Two photos were saved, one shows the water being bailed from the boat and the second saved photo shows the bimini top damage. The two photos lost showed the engine compartment once on land and the other photo showed the capsized boat when I arrived on scene.
