RedactedNarrative: INITIAL CALL: 
  
  At approximately 1800 hrs on 7/4/14 NPS Dispatch informed me that a vessel had sank near shore with the bimini top still above water near the sand king area of Wahweap Bay. They stated that the owners were not present and they believed someone had given them a ride to the marina. I told them I would be in route from the Padre Bay area. 
  
  RESPONSE: 
  
  While responding to the Wahweap Bay area I was diverted to another call for immediate service but after clearing that call I arrived on scene at approximately 1900 hrs. When arriving I was following another vessel that turned out to be the owner of the sunken vessel. 
  
  INVESTIGATION: 
  
  I contacted subject on the beach there and asked if he knew who's boat had sank. He stated it was his. he informed me they had left the ski vessel there anchored to shore and anchored in the water, bow toward the beach, while they traveled up lake to Dangling Rope. He stated they had left around 12:00. 
  
  During the afternoon on 7/4/14 the winds in the Wahweap Bay area had increased greatly causing 2 ft to 4 ft waves in the bay and in the area of the sunken vessel. The vessel most likely started taking on water from waves coming over the side and/or rear of the vessel. This caused it to capsize and sink where it was anchored. 
  
  I directed subject to contact Aramork executive services the following morning at the Wahweap Marina to have his vessel retrieved. On 7/5/14 I stopped by the scene again and Aramark was in the process of lifting the vessel with air bags. subject had found the vessels registration documents and gave that information to me. I told him I would contact him via phone the following week when he was home to get his insurance information.
