RedactedNarrative: On 10/23/22, at approximately 3:00 PM, I, CPO 1, was notified of a sinking boat on Crab Orchard Lake.  I spoke with Crab Orchard Refuge Officer.  Refuge Officer was on scene and stated a boat was swamped by large waves.  He stated the boat was travelling west and turned North at the Haven.  A South wind was gusting 20 mph and created large waves.  When Operator turned North a large wave swamped his boat.  He motored to some rock along route 13.  The boat continued to sink and Operator exited onto the rocks.  I arrived at 4:00 pm and photographed the boat.  The weather conditions were rough and I made arrangements to remove the boat the next morning.  
  On 10/24/22 CPO 2 and I pumped water, out of the boat, and towed it to the boat ramp.  Operator was able to trailer the boat.  The boat appeared to have damage to the port side, near the passenger position. the damage appeared to be caused by the rocks.
