RedactedNarrative: Between 6:00PM and 6:30PM on 3/31/2021,(operator) and his passenger, left a camp on the Tangipahoa River headed toward Pass Manchac by way of Lake Ponchartrain. While traversing Lake Ponchartrain west towards Pass Manchac , a storm moved in from the north. Operator then turned east in effort to avoid the storm. After the rain stopped, he was unable to travel back towards the north due to a heavy north wind and heavy wave action. Given the weather conditions and implending darkness (official sunset at 7:18PM), he then attempted to travel west towards the high-voltage power lines in order to use them as navigation aids to reach safe harbor in Pass Manchac. He stated that he was unable to locate the high-voltage power lines. Operator stated that he eventually took a southerly heading. It was around this time that the vessel began breaking apart, flooding, sinking, and lost power due to heavy wind and wave action. Operator and his passenger remained adrift in the inoperable and capsized vessel until 11:47AM on 4/1/21 when they were rescued by the United States Coast Guard. Operator was treated for exposure related injuries (hypothermia, rhabdomyolosis, and dehydration) and Occupant refused medical treatment. The exact location where the boat began breaking apart, capsizing, and lost power is unknown. The only known location is the location of the rescue of Operator and Occupant by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) as provided by the USCG. (See attached photos and diagrams).
