  The Operator had launched this vessel off Jenson Point on Vashon in Quarter Master Harbor earlier in the day. He went to the area of Olalla Beach looking for good crabbing locations. He was returning to Vashon through Colvos Passage. 
  
  As Operator was passing in front of, and 1/2 mile out from the Vashon residence, he was operating the vessel at full throttle and struck an unusual wave that ejected him from his boat. The boat continued to circle him as he swam keeping clear so as not to get struck by the boat. The vessel became swamped but did not sink.

Neighbors responded to her calls and took their boats to pick up Operator. Fire and Medics met them on shore.  Operator was airlifted to Harborview where he was treated for Hypothermia.
