On 06/22/2023, I received a report from Lake Mead Interagency Communications Center of a reported capsized vessel at the tire line of Callville Bay Marina. The report came from a marina employee. Marina employee stated there was a small aluminum capsized vessel with no one around. Marina employee had the vessel towed to the Callville Bay launch ramp at my request. I contacted the registered owner of the vessel, Operator, who stated the vessel had capsized the previous night, 06/21/2023, at approximately 20:00 hours and reported that he was uninjured.

Operator stated he launched his vessel approximately 15 minutes prior to the accident. Operator stated he and Passenger were aboard and underway, travelling less than 5 mph as they were still in the no wake zone of the marina. Operator and Passenger were enroute to go fishing. Operator stated there were three foot waves caused by the wind beyond the tire line. Operator stated several waves began swamping his vessel so he and Passenger put on PFDs. Operator stated after several more waves struck the vessel, he and Passenger jumped out of the vessel, and it capsized shortly thereafter. Operator stated he tied the vessel to the tire line. Operator stated he and Passenger flagged down another boater who transported them back to the launch ramp. Operator stated he and Passenger left Callville, uninjured.

Operator trailered the vessel and removed it from Callville on 06/22/2023 at my request.
