RedactedNarrative: On 7/24/20, an Aramark employee took a Marine 16 radio call about a possible boat sinking near Buoy 106 at Lake Powell.
  
  I; Ranger 1 responded to this call with Ranger 2. When we arrived on scene at Buoy 106 we observed an Aramark boat with a line in the water at GPS units: 37*33'277" N, 110*37'810 W. I made contact and was informed that a 21 ft. ski boat sunk 7/23/20 during a storm and they were working on removing it. I was able to see a white blur in the water approx. 15ft under the water. I was informed the registered owner was Operator, later identified by his UT driver's license.
  
  I located Operator on a houseboat in Crustal Springs Canyon, but when asked for the vessel information Operator was unable to provide any. Operator informed me that he was heading to Bullfrog Marina to dock and I informed him that I would have a ranger meet him to retrieve this information.
  
  Operator was contacted by Ranger 3 and was asked what had happened that day. Operator informed him that on 7/23/20 at approx. 4:30 PM while returning to Crystal Springs Canyon from a water-skiing trip with the family in Forgotten Canyon. Operator said a storm came in with high winds and rain approx. 1/2 mile out from the canyon mouth. Operator said before he knew it his vessel was being swamped by approx. 6-foot waves and began to sink. Within 30 seconds of the storm hitting them they had abandoned ship and swam to the nearest shore where they were picked up approx. 30 minutes later when the storm ceased and dropped off at their houseboat in Crystal Springs Canyon. Operator submitted a witness statement.
  
  I called Operator on 7/28/20 at approx. 11:30 am and asked if he had any luck with removing the vessel. Operator informed me that the vessel was removed from the water on Saturday and is being delivered to him today. I informed Operator to call me when the vessel arrives.
  
  I called Operator on 7/30/20 at approx. 9am and was able to collect the rest of the vessel information. I asked Operator to send me photos of the vessel. Operator sent the photos on 7/30/20 at approx. 2pm.
  
  All parties can reached at phone number and address. All parties were wearing their lifejackets, and none were injured.
  
  End of Report.
