Unit 1 had an electrical malfunction which caused the bilge system to fail. In the rough wind and waters, while the captain and another passenger were assessing the damage, the vessel began taking on water over the gunwale. Unit 1 was unable to pump the water out, and Unit 1 capsized in the Calibogue Sound at the mouth of Bryan Creek. During the attempt to assess the damage, the operator went into the water where he sustained a laceration to his right leg above the knee.  EMS was able to treat the operator and release him.
