RedactedNarrative: A man with a broken leg, a 10-year-old boy and a boat owner were able to swim to safety after a wave capsized their 19-foot vessel off the west coast of Kauai. Boat owner of Port Allen said he wanted to stay close to the capsized boat Sunday night until dawn, but the pain experienced by his guest made them decide to swim, The Garden Island reported. Owner, his son and a California man they met Sunday, fished near Niihau and about 8 p.m. headed toward Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor when the large wave struck the boat's stern. The boat twisted sideways. All three were thrown in the water, and The guest was hit the hardest. The impact broke his prosthetic hip and femur in three places. He felt the worst pain of his life, he said. "And I've had kidney stones," The guest said Monday at Wilcox Memorial Hospital as he awaited surgery, hoarse from screaming. "I've had three separate kidney stones, and this is absolutely worse than a kidney stone." He joked that his screams likely could have been heard in Tahiti. The Owners
  were not injured. Owner in the dark retrieved two life vests and put them on The guest and his son. They swam to the boat and climbed onto the portion above water. Waves continued to crash onto the boat. The guest kept getting tossed into the water.
