RedactedNarrative: On June 6, 2021, around 1930 hours, a 23' deck boat which was anchored on the sandbar about 150 feet off the beach on Honeymoon Island, became swamped in rough seas. The two occupants were able to safely wade ashore and the rented vessel was subsequently recovered from a half-submerged status the next day. 
  At about 1900 hours the operator of the rented vessel, OP1, brought the vessel into the shallow waters just inside the sandbar, located about 150 feet from the beach on Honeymoon State Park. OP1 anchored the vessel from the bow and from the stern, then let all the occupants of the vessel wade in to the shore. 
  OP1 and PAX1 attempted to pull up the anchor and leave the beach a short time later. While pulling up the bow anchor the vessel became grounded on the shallow sandbar, causing high waves to crash over the bow and fill the vessel with sea water. It soon became apparent the vessel was swamped with sea water and the two occupants abandoned the vessel, wading to shore. 
  The rental vessel company (Freedom Boat Club), was contacted and two employees were escorted to the vessel from the beach, at which time the vessel was securely anchored. Freedom Boat Club employees brought out a pump and removed the vessel from the beach two days later.
