RedactedNarrative: On June 13, 2017, at 9:16 am, Coast Guard received a call of a boat that was taking on water and sinking eat of Government Cut. When I arrived on scene, Coast Guard had already picked up the occupants and took them to Watson Island. After taking photos of the half-submerged vessel, I proceeded to Watson Island to obtain witness statements. 
  
  According to the witness statements, the 4 occupants were drift fishing off Government Cut. The wind speed this day was approximately 15-20 knots. This wind speed made for rough sea conditions, especially in the cut. As they were fishing, they saw that the boat was filling up with water. When they tried to turn on the bilge pump, it was not working.
