RedactedNarrative: Vessel at anchor, overwhelmed by large wave over the stern. Vessel was swamped and sank.
  
  At approximately 1345, Officer and I arrived. I interviewed Operator and obtained the registration for the vessel (FL 0556 HG). A records check would reveal Operator as the registered owner of the vessel. I asked Operator to describe what happened, to which he stated the following, Operator was at anchor and fishing with three children onboard. Operator noticed that the wind and waves were beginning to pick up. 
  
  Operator tried to retrieve his anchor when the vessel took a large wave over the stern. Operator stated that he engaged the bilge pumps and was trying to head back to shore, but the vessel was disabled due to the amount of water on the vessel. 
  
  Operator stated the vessel took more waves, causing it to sink.  Operator stated that he used four flares and an airhorn as the vessel was sinking. Operator stated that he was assisted by a good Samaritan, who took him and the three children back ashore. Operator stated that he observed the vessel go underwater as he was being assisted by the good Samaritan. There were no injuries in this accident.
