RedactedNarrative: A boating accident occurred on Sunday, 10-30-2016, 2:10 am at Ft. Wetherill, Jamestown, involving boat operator.  On 10-31-16 EPO contacted Operator who reported that he took his dinghy out to his 33' Sloop that was on a mooring in the area of GREENS PIER in Narragansett Bay, Jamestown.  
  
  He was trying to get onto his sailboat when waves rocked both boats, he lost his balance and the dinghy flipped over. Operator landed in the water.  He grabbed the rope from his sailboat and yelled for help.  Sgt. of Jamestown Police was the first to respond.  Operator yelled he couldn't hang on much longer so Sgt. grabbed a kayak belonging to Clarks Boatyard and paddled out to Operator. Sgt. located Operator who was clinging to the rope.  He was having trouble keeping his head above water and said his body was numb and didn't think he could hold on much longer.  After a life threatening and overwhelming rescue, Sgt. was able to hold Operator above water until USCG arrived. Victim was later taken to Newport Hospital where he was treated for Hypothermia.
