RedactedNarrative: Operator 1 Stated: We were out fishing in Townsend Inlet. While drifting towards the bridge a wake came over our bow and swamped the boat. We tried getting the water out, but it kept pouring in, which then caused the boat to overturn.
  
  Investigation Revealed: Vl was drifting within Townsend Inlet located in Sea Isle City, Upper Twp., Cape May County. While drifting Vl took a large wake over the bow causing same to capsize within the Inlet. All three passengers were able to safety leave Vl, and enter the water. All passengers were wearing life jackets at the time of entering the water. Avalon PD was first on scene to assist. Avalon was able to get all three passengers out of the water. Sea Tow was then contacted in reference to the capsized vessel. They were able to upright Vl and tow same to Avalon Point Marina, where Vl was removed from the water. No injuries were reported on scene. Vl sustained water damage to the outboard motor. It should be noted that due to the heavy vessel traffic in that area, Operator 1 was not able to indicate whether a vessel caused the wake that capsized their vessel. Vl was removed from the water and is dry docked at Avalon Point Marina.
