RedactedNarrative: Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, was on duty, in uniform, and on patrol in Marathon, Monroe County, Florida on 23 July, 2021.  
  	At approximately 0900 hours, I was dispatched to respond to a vessel that capsized and was adrift on 22 July, 2021.  At approximately 1515 hours, US Coast Guard responded to a distress call of a vessel taking on water approximately 5 miles South of Marathon, FL.  The vessel, FL 0197 GD, was operated by OP1.  The vessel was occupied by OP1's minor daughter and another passenger.  OP1 attempted to drive the boat back to land and contacted US Coast Guard to report his boat taking on water.  Coast Guard members removed the occupants of the boat and transported the 3 people back to land.  The boat subsequently sunk and was left adrift.
  	On 23 July, 2021 at approximately 0930 hours I began a search for the capsized and adrift boat.  At approximately 1100 hours, we found the boat approximately 1 mile North of Sombrero Key Sanctuary.  We secured the boat, noted it's location, and updated US Coast Guard with the current location.
