While on duty, I received a call from our dispatch center regarding a boating accident just outside of Adams Cut bayside. The reporting person said there was a boat capsized and there was a person in the water. Upon arrival, I observed one vessel capsized on the portside, later identified as vessel one (V1), an 18-foot Sea Pro boat.
 I then asked OP1 to board my vessel because there was a thunderstorm coming in. OP1 boarded my vessel, and I took him to shore at Kings Camp RV resort. I had an individual translate English to Spanish to OP1 to gather information on what happened. OP1 explained that his bilge pumps stopped working and the boat started to take on water and it sunk.
