RedactedNarrative: On July 12, 2015, at approximately 1140 hours, Operator1 and friend launched their 15'' Skeeter boat from the Wildlife Access Area located at 144 Cedar Point Boulevard in Cedar Point. The two then made their way across the ICW and approximately 0.35 mile south east where they were in between channel marker 45 and 46. After anchoring on the east side of the channel with the intention of fishing, Friend noticed that the boat was taking on water at approximately 1200 hours. The two men began to bail water with a bucket they had. During this time, a large boat passed their location causing a large wake to come over the stern of the boat. 
   
  Note: Operator1 had improperly anchored his vessel by attaching the anchor line to the stern of the boat. As a result of the leaking boat and the large wake, the boat sank in about five feet of water. Operator1 and Friend were picked up by a passing boater, and then taken back to the boat ramp by the Coast Guard. Friend stated that he specifically remembered putting the plug in the boat, but felt that if must have came out.
