RedactedNarrative: On June 10, 2019 at 0945 hrs Cpl was notified of a sail boat that was beached at Cape Henlopen State park by Navy Beach. Sgt and I responded to a patrol vessel to assist Park Rangers. While in route, the Ranger on scene SUBJECT advised Kent Com that there was only one POB and he was refusing to get off the vessel. 
  
  SUBJECT was notified that the occupant/ operator was in contact with the Coast Guard on VHF. Sgt and I canceled our response to a patrol vessel and responded to Navy Beach. We arrived at 1030 hrs and observed the vessel grounded on the beach, stern to the surf. Cape Henlopen State Park maintenance crew arrived with a backhoe and tow straps and secured the vessel to prevent it from moving. Local Fire/rescue crew pulled the occupant off the vessel in a stretcher and brought him to shore. 
  
  Sgt spoke with the subject, who he spoke with before several days before and identified him as S1. S1 was transported to Beebe Hospital for evaluation, S1 was believed to be a medical patient. Sgt contacted S1''s mother and notified her of the incident and notified he was going to the hospital. She advised the he had brain surgery several years ago and was not a medical patient. SUBJECT went to Beebe while Sgt and I waited for Tow Boat US to arrive to salvage the vessel with permission from the mother and through Geico insurance. 
  
  Tow Boat US arrived at 1530 hours and towed the vessel off the beach and transported it to Lewes Harbor Marina to be pulled from the water. S1 was released from the hospital by this time and we made contact with him at his mother''s house. 
  
  S1 cannot use his right arm, walks with a limp and has slurred speech due to his brain surgery. Sgt interviewed S1 about the incident. S1 explained the he was traveling to Ocean City Inlet then to Robert Reed Water Front Park in Chincoteague, Virginia. S1 stated he departed at 0830hrs from Lewes and was using his phone as a gps. He does not have a chart plotter or radar. He was traveling at roughly 5-6 Knots and even though it was foggy he could see fairly well. 
  
  His phone was not working effectively and he looked at his compass and was traveling due West. His vessel got caught in a rock jetty on the beach and the wind/ surf of the ocean carried him onto the beach where his vessel grounded. S1 was issued a citation for negligent operation. 
  
  On Tuesday June 11, 2019 Sgt and I examined the vessel in Lewes after it was pulled from the water. The Keel was cracked, rudder was damaged and there was 1.5-2 ft of water in the cabin. The railings on the bow were damaged due to the salvaged from Tow Boat US. Medication and a cell phone on board the vessel were returned by Sgt.
