RedactedNarrative: Three people left out of Smith Springs boat ramp in a Canoe and Kayak at approximately 3:00pm on April 2, 2016.  They paddled out to the small island across from Anderson Beach and spent time exploring.  The weather conditions were changing dramatically while they were on the island, causing high winds and large waves.  
  
  They decided to attempt to row back to Smith Springs boat ramp but were unable to make headway against the wind and waves.  They eventually washed up on the far bank on the left side of the shoreline as you head into the area known as “Party Cove”.   
  
  At this time they decided to all 3 get into the canoe and tie the kayak up to it.  They set out once more to attempt to make it to Smith Springs boat ramp.  At approximately 6pm waves swamped the canoe on the starboard side, ejecting all 3 into the water.  
  
  Subject1 and Subject2 were wearing lifejackets but Victim was not.  Subject1 was able to swim to “Hole in the Wall” island.  Once there he looked out over the water and saw Victim straddling the kayak and Subject2 in the water holding onto it.  Subject1 then ran for help.  Subject1 was picked up off the island by a passing boat that he was able to flag down.  A 911 was made at approximately 6:53pm.  Subject2 was found on the shoreline with the canoe and kayak.  Subject2 stated that Victim had gone under the water.  Subject1 and Subject2 were uninjured.
