RedactedNarrative: While on patrol in the Barnegat Bay a distress call came out over VHF 16 in reference to a small vessel that capsized near the "BB" buoy off Lacey Township.  Upon arrival to the scene I observed a 14' aluminum vessel capsized and partially submerged.  Another vessel operated by was on scene and had provided aid to the two occupants of Vessel 1, removing them from the water.
  
  
         Operator 1 stated in effect-  I was traveling South in the Barnegat Bay when a wave came over the bow of my boat, swamping it.  The boat then capsized and we were thrown into the water.  We were only in the water a few seconds before the other boat showed up and helped us out.
  
         Witness 1 Stated in Effect- I was heading Northbound in the Barnegat Bay and observed the other boat heading South.  I saw the female occupant sitting in the bow area and the Male operating the tiller.  Due to the rough conditions saw the vessel take several waves over the bow causing the vessel to capsize forcing both occupants into the water.  I turned my boat around and removed to two from the water and called for help on VHF 16.
  
  Investigation Revealed-  Vessel 1 was traveling South in the Barnegat Bay and being operated by Operator 1.  The passenger of Vessel 1 was seated in the Bow area and Operator 1 was seated near the stern.  While underway a wave came over the bow of vessel 1 filling the hull with water.  The vessel subsequently overturned and both occupants were forced into the water.  The operator of a passing vessel witnessed the incident and provided assistance to the occupants of Vessel 1.  Tow Boat US subsequently arrived on scene and removed the vessel from the scene and transported the victims to shore.  Vessel 1 sustained water damage to the engine.  There were no injuries reported.
