RedactedNarrative: A single vessel accident occurred in Pensacola Bay due to rough wave action.  A small vessel attempted to transit the bay, and was swamped by a wave which sunk the boat and caused the occupants to be ejected into the water.
  
  Between VHF and dispatch I heard that the swimmers had been picked up from the good Samaritan vessel by a TowBoat US vessel and transported to the Pensacola Yacht Club dock at Bayou Chico.  As I arrived at the yacht club I saw at least 6 EMS personnel hovering over an infant who was laying on her back on the dock and struggling to breath.  I asked dispatch to notify investigations that this would be a possible death of an infant and to send an investigator to the scene. 
  
  A white female was already on a stretcher and a different EMS crew was attending to her.  She was awake and did not have any apparent physical injuries.  I found a white male, taking care of a small boy.  He told me he was the owner / operator of the boat that had sunk.  His wife, her 4 year old step-son, and 9 month daughter had been in a recently purchased 14 ft Collinsworth vessel and attempted to cross the Bay. They had purchased the used boat on 17 May and this was their first outing.  The vessel was a stick steer, with a 15 HP outboard in the rear.  The male stated the bay was too rough and a big wave swamped their vessel and caused it to sink immediately.  He told me they tread water for approximately 25 minutes before a good samaritan picked them up.  EMS transported the 9 month old and wife to Sacred Heart Hospital for care. An Officer and I searched Pensacola Bay, along with USCG, for the capsized vessel but did not find it. The Officers also searched the bay in the larger Fincat vessel, and still did not locate the capsized vessel. I ended my water patrol soon afterwards and ended shift for the day.
  
  The following morning I visited with the family of four at Sacred Heart hospital.  The mother had been released the same evening as admission, but was still being observed by staff since she had ingested saltwater.  The baby was alert and smiling as I entered the family's room.  Staff advised that the baby would need to stay for one more night before being released since she had ingested a large amount of saltwater.
