RedactedNarrative: Subjects took a 14’ vessel out to assist a stranded pontoon on Crystal Lake.  Winds at the time were gusting up to 35 mph.  The subjects attempted to get back to shore, but the waves were coming over the back of the vessel causing it to sink.  Boat subjects were wearing PFDs and were pulled from the water approximately 45 minutes later by the previous stranded pontoon.  Vessel 1 was later recovered, no loss or damage.
