RedactedNarrative: One occupant (female) of the sailboat was controlling the rudder while the other (male) went to drop the sail. 
  
  The winds were moderate and the male occupant fell in the water and was unable to swim. The operator threw two float cushions to the man in the water, but the wind blew them out of reach. The operator continued to circle him until he went under. The operator called 911 by cell phone. Authorities arrived and a search began immediately. The victim was found about 11:45 a.m. on 7/27/19, deceased in the water. He was found by a boater in the center of the channel across from the northern part of the city of Pepin, WI. Life jackets were not being worn, and alcohol was not a factor.
