RedactedNarrative: On July 10th, 2022, at approximately 0941 hours Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to Cedar Key for a search and rescue. The complaint stated that there was a man overboard in the water. We made contact with the owner/operator. He pointed in the direction of the man overboard, and after conducting a grid search pattern, we located the subject with the assistance of the United States Coast Guard. 
  	US Fish and Wildlife Officer and Officer (FWC) responded with their patrol vessel and another officer called out to and located the subject, identified as Victim. Victim was brought onboard their patrol vessel and Victim explained the events surrounding the collision. He was transported by Officers to McCormick Creek boat ramp for evaluation by EMS and was transported to Shands Hospital in Gainesville. 
  We confirmed the wellbeing of victim and the vessel was found to have ran aground for the following reasons:
  
  •	OP1 raised the sails while the vessel was under anchor.
  •	The bow of the sailboat was forced under water.
  •	Victim cut the anchor line so that the vessel could sail freely.
  •	Overnight, the sailboat drifted towards Suwannee Sound until it ran aground the Lone Cabbage Reef.
  	During the investigation, both subjects admitted to having no experience with sailing vessels, and it was determined that operator inexperience caused the vessel to run aground at Lone Cabbage Reef. The entire investigation was recorded on agency issued body-worn cameras (BWC). No further law enforcement action taken at this time.
