RedactedNarrative: On Friday July 1, 2022, Lt. 2, Cpl 3 and I responded to an unrelated water rescue in the DE Bay on MP uniform. After securing an injured victim on the Lewes fire boat, a subject on a sail boat informed us there was an overturned sail boat back towards Lewes Beach. We patrolled the area on MP uniform with the assistance of the Delaware State Police helicopter and no overturned vessel was located.
  
  At 1937 hours LT. 2 was contacted by United States Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay in reference to this same complaint. Lt. 2 was advised that a sail boat overturned and capsized in the DE Bay and Coast Guard was receiving numerous reports of the incident. Lt 2 contacted Passenger who was the occupant on the vessel. Passenger stated that her and her husband, Operator, were on their sail boat in the DE Bay earlier in the day. While they were underway it over tuned and they both went into the water. Both subjects wore life jackets and were picked up by good Samaritans and brought back to shore. Passenger contacted Tow boat and did not want to pay the bill to have the sail boat removed from the water. Passenger stated that someone on shore had told her that their sail boat was pick up and placed on a barge. LT 2 informed her that the vessel was still in the water because of the reports Coast Guard was getting and it needed to be removed that day. 
  
  Passenger re-contacted Tow and was advised that a response was not able to be made that night. LT 2, Cpl 3 and I went underway on MP Uniform and located the capsized sail boat at the coordinates listed in this report. We stern towed the vessel back to the Lewes public boat ramp and notified Costal Towing. Coastal towing put the sail boat on a roll back utilizing a winch and had to cut the mast off to be properly secured to the roll back. I completed a tow slip for the vessel and released it to Coastal Towing. LT 2 notified Passenger of this and all units cleared the area. No further action taken.
