Two people saw Subject in distress and swam out to help.  Operator's wife was concerned for the swimmers safety.  She drove V-1 out into the Gulf to help the swimmers.  All four swimmers got into V-1.  A wave capsized the vessel.  All four people entered the water and swam to back to the beach.  V-1 sank and then washed up on the beach.  Several people flipped the vessel back over and drug it back into Lake Powell.  The vessel was considered a total loss.
