RedactedNarrative: Synopsis:
  On 29 September at approximately 1617 i was called to a vessel assist of a potential capsized boat at strawberry.  Ranger and i were able to locate the boat occupants and transport them safely back to the renegade marina.
  
  Narrative:
  On the above date and time, i was dispatched to a vessel assist of a potentially capsized boat at strawberry. I made contact with the reporting party and he was able to send me his location.  Operator1 advised that there were three people in the group and that no one was injured they were just cold.
  
  Ranger and i arrived at the strawberry marina to retrieve the ranger boat.  We were able to determine that their location was just east of the narrows.
  
  Once the occupants were located on shore, ranger navigated the boat while i made contact with them.
  
  Operator1 told me that they were driving slowly to shore with their stern against the waves.  They began taking on water so they went to shore.  When they arrived on shore they started unloading their boat as it continued to take on water.  I helped Operator1 and the two other passengers load their possessions onto the boat.  I handed the other two that were not wearing life jackets, life vests and had them put them on before they climbed on board.  I told Operator1 that he had two options, that we could either try to tow the boat back to the marina or he could leave it here and retrieve it when the weather was calmer.  Operator1 decided that he wanted us to try to tow it.  Operator1's boat, when being towed dipped farther underwater.  We advised Operator1 that it would be better to retrieve the boat another time.  Ranger and i assisted with securing the boat to shore.
  
  Ranger and i transported all three occupants to the renegade marina.
  
  Property:
  Operator1 stated that the property on his boat that was lost was:
  
  -motor $100.00
  -fish finder $100.00
  -trolling motor $60.00
  -battery's $200.00
  
  Conclusion:
  Operator1's boat was left tied to shore, mostly underwater.  I informed dispatch of the gps location for the boat so that they were aware.  Operator1 stated that he would retrieve his boat at another time.
