RedactedNarrative: INITIAL CALL
  At approximately 1803 hrs on 07-23-2019, GLCA Dispatch received a cell phone call from an individual who indicated that there was a blue ski boat that was taking on water and sinking with 8 individuals on board. The reported location was in the wakeless zone near the entrance to Castle Rock Cut. The individual reported that individuals on scene were trying to get the occupants of the sinking vessel into life jackets and off of the sinking vessel via other related boats and a PWC. Ranger and I responded in Vessel 360 from the Wahweap Government Dock. We located the sinking vessel near the south entrance to the Castle Rock Cut. Upon our arrival, the swamped vessel was resting in shallow water. Nearby were individuals trying to push another vessel out of the shallows as well as individuals standing near the swamped boat and on shore, with a beached PWC. The other boat was able to exit the shallows and departed the scene. 
  
  INVESTIGATION
  Verbal statements were taken from the 4 individuals from the involved party. I was told that the involved party was boating, using two motorboats and a PWC. the owner of the swamped boat (Vessel 1) told me that he had checked the motor and bilge pumps prior to launching Vessel 1. At the time of the incident, Vessel 1 had 6 individuals on board. At approximately 1800hrs, while OPERATOR1 was operating Vessel 1, the engine died. OPERATOR1 suggested that he thought it was an issue with the fuel system. Vessel 1 began to take waves over the gunwales. OPERATOR1 and others on Vessel 1 tried to restart the motor without success. The occupants of Vessel 1 all tried to find and don personal flotation devices and exited Vessel 1 to the party's other boat or into the water. Vessel 1 drifted to shore on the west side of the south entrance to Castle rock Cut and ran aground in 2-3 feet of water. Most of the party boarded the family's second boat (to capacity) and left the scene, leaving 5 individuals on the shore near Vessel 1 along with the associated PWC. Another unassociated boat attempted to approach Vessel 1 to see if they could assist and ran aground. The occupants of the bystander boat were able to push the vessel back into deeper water and it left the scene, leaving two individuals in the water, who swam to and boarded our vessel.
  
  After bringing 6 individuals back to Wahweap developed area, OPERATOR1 and his family members were advised to contact Executive Servicesfor recovery services. They were also advised of the legal requirement to remove the vessel.
