RedactedNarrative: On 5/22/2021 at approximately 1419 hours, I was contacted by OPERATOR 1 while in the area of the Castle Creek 4 Lane Boat Ramp reference his watercraft which had capsized. Deputies were attempting to locate the watercraft after a witness stated they saw the watercraft capsized at the North end of Lake Pleasant.
  OPERATOR 1 approached my vehicle while I was sitting at the Castle Creek 4 Lane Boat Ramp trying to look for his capsized watercraft. I asked him if everyone made it out of the watercraft and he said yes. OPERATOR 1 had the other party with him at this time who was also on board his watercraft. Neither person required medical attention and both were uninjured.
  I asked OPERATOR 1 to explain what happened and he told me the following. While attempting to leave Goose Bay he was met by high winds and large waves while trying to go south. He stated he believes the waves were about 5 feet and stated his watercraft was out of the water multiple times. He stated waves started to crash over the bow and fill up the inside of his watercraft. He estimated he took about 30 waves over the bow before the watercraft fully submerged under the water. He said at this time only a seat and the top of his motor were out of the water. When he and passenger finally departed the watercraft, it rolled over, capsizing before rising back to the surface.
  I asked OPERATOR 1 how far from shore he was when this occurred and he stated about 200 yards south of the mouth to Goose Bay. He stated by the time the watercraft capsized they were maybe 30 yards from shore. He advised the watercraft stayed afloat and some good samaritan picked them up and brought them to shore where I contacted them.
  I asked OPERATOR 1 if he could swim and he said he could not. He advised he was wearing his life jacket when he went down and this is what helped keep him afloat. I also spoke with passenger and he stated he could swim and had a life jacket with him.
  The watercraft was later located at the shoreline of Goose Bay and was beached. OPERATOR 1 is making plans to have the watercraft removed.
