RedactedNarrative: On March 27, 2021 at approximately 5PM, Operator, his wife, their three children (names not volunteered), and two dogs left the Carlyle Lake marina in their Ebbtide boat for a day of boating on Carlyle Lake. 
  
  At approximately 7 PM their boat stopped working, Operator thought it was the starter. Operator tried and tried several times to get the boat to start but nothing worked.
  
  At 7:23 PM Wife called 911 and told the operator they were stranded at Carlyle and were drifting without power; she added a thunderstorm was getting close and they were getting worried. The phone pinged southwest of Coles Creek boat launch according to the operator. They were advised to don lifejackets and paddle to the nearest shore.
  
  Operator kept paddling but was fighting the storm and wind that was now almost on top of them. Operator used the anchor as a grappling hook by throwing it and letting it grab the lakebed and pulling the boat closer to shore. Between paddling, the anchor, and favorable winds, the boat met with the shore near Coles Creek. 
  
  Operator tied the boat to the shore and the entire family was picked up and driven back to Carlyle Lake Marina by a pair of Clinton County Sherriff''s officers who were dispatched to the area. 
  
  The boat was left tied to shore next to some large rocks for approximately 36 hours. The exterior damage sustained to the boat was due to the weather and the boat repeatedly crashing against the rocks. On March 29 the boat was removed from the water by Isaaks Towing company and returned to Operator on March 30.
