RedactedNarrative: On 04/11/2015, a group of 8 individuals drove from the Olympia area to Cline Spit to kayak to the Dungeness Lighthouse.  There were 7 kayaks in all.  At about 10:00 a.m., they all began kayaking to the Dungeness Lighthouse. 
  
  Subject1 stated that Subject2 had printed out a weather report.  Subject1 looked at the report and recalled that it indicated wind in the morning and stronger wind in the afternoon.  All the above kayaked out to the Dungeness Lighthouse without incident.  At about 1:30 p.m., after having lunch, they launched to start back to Cline Spit.  Subject3 got into her kayak and Subject4 hiked back.  Subject5, Subject6, Subject3, and Subject2 launched first.  Subject1 and Subject7 got into their double kayak and Subject8 shoved them off.  Subject8 followed in his kayak. 
  
  The wind began blowing harder.  Subject1 saw Subject8 for a while on their right side.  The waves got to about 4 feet.  Subject1 and Subject7 were concentrating on shore and did not see any other kayak.  When they approached shore, they saw Subject5 and Subject6 on shore.  They landed near the 3 Crabs area.  Subject1, Subject7, Subject6, and Subject5 said that they were concentrating on keeping their kayaks a float and heading to shore.  They did not see Subject3, Subject2, or Subject8's kayaks capsize. 
  
  A US Coast Guard vessel located Subject8 in the water.  He was taken to John Wayne Marina and transported by Aid car to Olympia Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.  Subject2 was rescued from the water by a Coast Guard helicopter and flown to Olympic Medical Center, then flown to Harborview Medical Center.  Subject3 was found by a Navy helicopter, given to a Coast Guard helicopter and flown to Olympic Medical Center.  She was later flown to St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham.
