RedactedNarrative: Officer and I responded to a search and rescue with an injured person roughly 6-8 miles SW of Bob Sike's/Government Cut off of Little St. George Island.  Injured Captain of vessel was loaded onto our patrol vessel and we transported him to an awaiting ambulance that was staged at a private boat ramp in The Plantation at St. George Island. 
  
  We off-loaded the patient and turned him over to the EMS personnel with Weem's Ambulance Service and they advised he was going to be transported to Weem's Memorial Hospital in Apalachicola, FL.  When we arrived at Weem's Memorial Hospital it was confirmed that he had broken/fractured ribs and also had numerous bruising as well as rope burns on his hand.  
  
  We then proceeded to work this incident as a boating accident.   Victim said that he noticed the sea conditions were getting rougher so he went to set his anchor.  While setting his anchor a six foot wave hit the bow of the vessel and caused him to fall onto the gunnel of the vessel and almost out of the vessel.; 
  
  Victim was admitted into Weem's Memorial Hospital with a broken/fractured rib on the left side of his body.  Victim also had several scrapes and bruises from falling on the railing/gunnel as well as rope burns on his hands from the anchor line.
