RedactedNarrative: On October 16, 2017 at 0822, I responded to 1150 Big Water Point in Greensboro reference a boating incident.  Upon my arrival, I spoke with Old Salem Fire Department First Responder.  He advised that a 92 year old WM had been thrown overboard his vessel. The boat was still operating in an idling, circular motion while the subject was clinging to the port side rear of the vessel. 
       Subject advised that when he arrived to the complainant's address, he borrowed their jet ski in order to get to the subject's boat.  He was able to turn the motor off and assist the subject back into his vessel.  Subject returned the vessel back to the complainant's dock where Greene County EMS assessed the subject for injuries.
       The subject was transported for precautionary reasons due to his age to Good Samaritan's Hospital in Greensboro.  
       While at the dock, I inspected Operator's 15 ft. Lancer fishing boat.  All necessary safety equipment was observed and the vessel appeared to be operable.  
       While at the above hospital, Operator stated that he was operating his vessel on Lake Oconee (waters of the State) and due to the trim not being set correctly, the stick steer slipped out of his hand causing the vessel to make a sharp turn throwing him overboard.  Operator advised that he was able to throttle the vessel back before he was thrown overboard and while in the water, the vessel continued to circle him.  He stated further that he called out for help for approximately 45 minutes in which that time, Subject came to assist him. 										
  
  While at Good Samaritan's Hospital, Operator was treated for lacerations to his skin on his lower extremities and later released. After a few days passed, I gave a follow-up phone call to Operator, and he advised he was doing well.
