RedactedNarrative: The vessel launched from Gordon Launch ramp in Cleveland.  They watched the air show off of Burke Lakefront Airport. After the airshow they went to Edgewater.  The Operator and Passengers 3 and 4 swam for a bit.  They then met up with an unknown person who knows the Operator.  They then went for a cruise to see the city from the water.  They decided to go in as a storm was coming soon.  
  
  They were approximately one mile east of the entrance to Newport Harbor and a half mile west of Dike 14 when the Operator turned off the boat and voluntarily entered the water for a swim.  Passenger 4 also went swimming.  Waves were approximately three feet high.  The wind blew the boat away from the Operator.  Passenger 4 stayed next the swim ladder and climbed aboard so they could go to the Operator.  The others in the vessel were not familiar with how it operated.  Together they got the boat started, and Passenger 2 operated it closer to the Operator.  They threw a line to him but were unable to get it to him.  Passenger 2 tried to restart the boat.  The Operator went underwater and did not resurface before the boat could get closer to him.  They started searching for him and called 911.  After about five minutes they left and went to Newport Harbor.
  
  Multiple agencies searched for the Operator from that time onward.  His body was found on the shoreline on September 8, 2017, four days after he entered the water.  
  
  Awaiting the Coroners report.
