RedactedNarrative: On November 15, 2020 at approximately at 1:30 PM, the Maryland Natural Resources Police responded to a call for service for an overturned kayak near Round Bay in the Severn River, Annapolis, Maryland.
  
  OPERATOR 1 was unable to provide a written statement of events due to his current medical treatment. OPERATOR 1 stated that he and OPERATOR 2, departed Hatton Beach, Severn River at approximately 9:30 AM in an attempt to kayak to Chesapeake Harbor. After approximately an hour, OPERATOR 1 and OPERATOR 2 had only made it to the route 50 bridge and the winds had picked up to approximately 15 miles per hour. OPERATOR 1 and OPERATOR 2 altered course to the eastern side of the Severn River and decided to return to the launch point at Hatton Beach. As OPERATOR 1 was turning to return to Hatton Beach, waves came over the back of his kayak and swamped the kayak. OPERATOR 1 was wearing his life jacket and was able to grab on to the kayak. Attempts to right the kayak were unsuccessful. Operator 2 called 911 for assistance and remained near OPERATOR 1 while waiting for assistance to arrive.
  
  OPERATOR 1 was rescued from the water by Anne Arundel County Fire and transported to land for evaluation by EMS. OPERATOR 1 was transported by Anne Arundel County EMS to the Anne Arundel County Medical Center for further treatment.
  
  The overturned kayak was returned to OPERATOR 2 for safekeeping.
