  On 11/06/2020, at about 11:50 a.m., this vessel was cruising on the Columbia River at Lake Wanapum located near Vantage, WA in Kittitas county.
  
  According the Law Enforcement, the Operator had ran this vessel aground on 11/04/2020, just out from Vantage State Park.  Operator had anchored the vessel so it would not go adrift once the river would rise.  The next day the river had risen, and the vessel came off anchor and drifted across the river and became grounded again.  
  
  On 11/06/2020, Operator tried to drive the vessel back to the Vantage launch.  As he was driving across the river in heavy wind and waves, the vessel started to take on water.  It had taken on so much water that it caused the motor to stall.  The vessel then swamped over the stern and capsized.  
  
  The vessel was last seen against the I90 dyke.  Operator was able to climb up the dyke and self-rescue.  He contacted his insurance company to recover the vessel.
