RedactedNarrative: While underway in the Chesapeake Bay the vessel became stuck on a sandbar, causing it to lose headway. A strong N/W wind and a rough choppy sea state caused waves to crash over the gunwale of the vessel and rapidly fill it with water. The battery compartment was flooded and they were unable to restart the engine. The occupants jumped into the waist deep water and were able to free the vessel from the sandbar and walk it to the beach directly behind 1546 Lea View Avenue.
