RedactedNarrative: officer on 8/9/2017 responded to South County Hospital as two persons who capsized their canoe on Wondens Pond, South Kingstown were being treated for Hypothermia. Officer interviewed the canoe operator/owner and a passenger in the canoe.  
  
  Officer learned that it was Occupant's first time in a canoe. The canoe was at anchor and both Occupant and Operator were fishing. Occupant stated he attempted to pull up the anchor and he shifted in the canoe causing the canoe to capsize. He stated this was influenced by the wind which was causing choppy wave action. Both were in the water for an extended period of time and had recovered their life jackets which they were able to put on which kept them afloat. They were rescued by good Samaritan vessels. Both men were transported to the hospital for hypothermia.
