WCO was dispatched to Dry Lake 2 in Clark County on July 28, 2023 at 1:00PM. WCO was advised by SO V1 had been capsized on the lake. Upon arrival, SO advised WCO that O1 and P1 where in the water and no PFDs on. 

O1 and P1 were pulled from the water from a nearby boater and brought to shore. WCO arrived on scene to visit with O1 and P1. O1 advised he was cruising south to the boat ramp with a strong NE wind creating hazardous wave conditions. 

O1 observed the docking area getting hit with strong waves. O1 turned the boat back to the NE into the strong waves to attempt to cruise to the north shoreline where the waves were not as treacherous. O1 turned back into the waves at a low rate of speed, V1 took on a wave over the boat. 

V1 was a 17 foot shallow boat. O1 said it immediately filled the boat with water and more waves continued to fill V1. O1 and P1 ended up in the water as V1 capsized on the water. 

O1 and P1 were picked up by another boat and taken to shore. V1 had all proper safety equipment on board. The PFDs in V1 were still attached to the back of the boat seats once the boat was flipped back over and brought to shore.
