The Operator and passenger were heading south on the CT River. The Operator believed that there was a channel on the east side of Gildersleeve Island, when he observed the depths on his equipment rapidly decreasing. He then struck submerged rocks. 

He attempted to operate the vessel away from the area of rocks, but was unsuccessful and turned off the engine. The vessel then started to take on water. 

The Operator and passenger reached out for assistance and were transported to shore. The Operator and the passenger did not sustain any injuries. The vessel was removed by SeaTow the next day. The vessel sustained severe damage but insurance company is not calling it a total loss.
