On September 13, 2023 at approximately 2:54PM, O1V1 was traveling approximately 5.2mph downstream towards North Shore Boat Ramp. This is in Buffalo County, South Dakota. V1 began to take on water from rough waves at the bow of the boat. O1 slowed to 4.49mph attempting to reach the boat ramp while still taking water from rough waves. The bilge pump failed resulting in V1 to become swamped. V1 drifted to the east shoreline where O1 and P1 called for help.
