RedactedNarrative: On the 30th of May, 2021, OPERATOR 1 overloaded his rental boat (Vessel 1) by allowing 16 people aboard when it was rated for 10 occupants.  At approximately 14:56 hours, while cruising in Wahweap Bay, Lake Powell, Arizona, just beyond the wakeless zone and nearly directly north of the Wahweap Main Launch Ramp, there was a "high-wind-event" on the lake.  This event caused sudden winds with gusts estimated by NPS Rangers to be up to 40 knots and waves estimated to be in excess of 3''-4'' from crest to trough.  
  Vessel 1 began cruising towards the main launch ramp and OPERATOR 1 had all occupants, except one, move into the main and rear passenger compartments of the boat.   A wave broke over the bow of the boat and deposited an estimated 6" of water in the vessel.  OPERATOR 1 activated his bilge pump.  A second and third wave broke over the bow, at which point OPERATOR 1 moved the only person left in the passenger area of the bow, his father, to the main passenger compartment.  At that time, the boat rolled to-port and began to capsize.
  Thirteen occupants got clear.  When the boat fully capsized, OPERATOR 1 and two children were under the upside-down boat in an air-pocket.  OPERATOR 1 dove under-water and navigated his way clear of the sides and windshield, coming up to the surface outside the boat.  He then dove back under the boat and, one at a time, extricated the two children from the air-pocket under it.
  Multiple Good Samaritans responded to the capsized boat, gave out PFDs and pulled people out of the water.  Everyone was transported to the main launch ramp and then to their campsite.  From there, OPERATOR 1’s father was transported to the Page Hospital for evaluation due to a pre-existing heart condition.
