RedactedNarrative: On May 25, 2014 at 5:33 p.m. vessel one (La 2158 GB, 15' Alweld powered by a tiller handle motor) was tied up to the dock at L'auberge Dulac Casino in Lake Charles. Vessel one was slowly taking on water while tied up to the dock as seen on the surveillance video from L'auberge Dulac. Operator stopped and observed water coming in vessel one. As seen on the video surveillance, Operator backed up vessel one and went forward a couple of times before leaving the dock. Operator left the dock at idle speed. It is seen on the surveillance video that Operator is messing with something at the stern vessel one where the drain plug would be located. Operator is seen making a circle before he gets out of video surveillance. When Operator comes back into video surveillance it is observed that Operator and occupants are running towards the bow of vessel one and then jump onto the dock before the vessel one sinks. Ocucpants were observed wearing PFD's. Operator did not have his PFD on. I did not observe any indications of Operator being under the influence. There were no injuries. The contributing factor in this incident is operator inexperience. 
  
  Operator was issued citation for Fail To Comply w/boater education requirements and Fail to have PFD on person under 17 while underway.
