RedactedNarrative: According to Passenger #1, Vessel #1 lost power to the trolling motor. The Operator decided to swim to the shore line to get the truck and trailer so he could drive to the North shore line while passenger #1 drifted to the North shore line to load the boat on the trailer. While the Operator  was in the process of swimming to the boat ramp from his vessel he started to struggle, went under water, and never resurfaced.
  
  Operator #1 was recovered by the Cherokee Nation Dive Team in approx. 13 feet of water 40 yards North of the Boat Ramp.
