RedactedNarrative: Boat was traveling from Wisconsin river section on the north end of lake petenwell back to the 10th st boat launch. Over the course of the day strong winds from the south had built up and caused heavy waves to build going the length of the lake, some estimated to be 2'-3'. 
  
  As the boat was traveling south back to the launch it ran out of gas approximately one mile directly east of the wilderness park. The operator was unable to keep the bow pointed into the waves while trying to refuel. 
  
  Boat turned sideways and was swamped and sank quickly. Operator and passenger were both wearing life jackets. Operator stated they were in the water for approximately one and a half hours before they were able to flag down a passing boat and were transported back to the launch. No injuries reported. 
  
  Unable to locate the boat due to heavy waves and occupants not able to give an exact location of where it sank. Boat was later located by a fisherman the following day. Only a small portion of the bow was sticking out of the water approximately 3/4 mile east of wilderness park. Tow company was able to remove it from the water
