Operator of vessel 1 decided that after a day of fishing, the weather was getting too rough and decided to head in.  

As vessel 1 was on its way to shore, it began to take waves over the bow as a result of being overloaded.  The bilge pump had become clogged and was unable to keep up.  Vessel 1 began to flood and eventually capsize.  Both occupants went into the water and the passenger hit his head.  The passenger also complained of chest pains.
