RedactedNarrative: Synopsis:
  Damage to vessel during wind storm.
  
  Call for assistance:
  At 1200 hour on 6-11-16 while doing vessel patrol, I was notified over the radio that there was a vessel that had become grounded/beached from the night before in a wind storm at the Eagle View shore at Yuba State Park.  I was informed that they were asking for assistance to be pulled back into the water.
  
  Initial observations:
  I boated over to the Eagle View camping area and could see a vessel that looked like it was too high on the shore line.  The stern of the vessel was still in the water.  The people on the shore flagged me over.  I could see that the vessel had become seriously grounded from the massive wind storm the night before.
  
  Actions:
  I approached the vessel and was told by the people standing by the boat that they were happy to see me.  I was told by the vessel owner, that during a huge wind storm from the night before around 1900 hours that the wind had broken the vessels anchor line, picked up their vessel and pushed/grounded it on shore to the point they could not move it, even with them pushing it and rocking it back and forth trying to get it  back in the water.  Owner explained that the wind violently pushed the vessel all night up against the shore.
  
  Owner asked me if I could pull his vessel back into deeper water.  Owner's entire group of friends ranging at about 10 to 15 people were pushing on the vessel, rocking it back and forth and trying to get it back out into deeper water.  I handed Owner a tow rope and he attached it to the bow eye of the vessel.  Owner's group then again began to push and rock the vessel and I gave it a tug with my patrol vessel and it floated back out into deeper water.  
  
  Additional actions:
  A couple of hours later Owner came to the Oasis boat ramp and asked me if I could do a damage report on their vessel for insurance purposes.  He showed me under the boat where the stern rutter was twisted, the propeller also had a few small dents in it and there was a mid hull rutter under the vessel that had become separated from the hull slightly.   The damage looked consistent to running a ground with the propeller too low.  The rutter damage looked consistent with the wind storm and having the vessel grounded on shore and violently pushed against the shore all night from the wind.  
  
  I gave Owner the case number and my officer number should he need any information for insurance purposes.  No further actions, end of report.
