We had just launched our boat at Lake Roosevelt Wa. (wife was out
circling waiting for me to park the truck) when the sheriff's
boat came up to the dock pulling this boat with the ass end
dragging in the water. Sheriff told me the boat was tied up to
the dock that night and wind and wakes started getting water into
it. When it filled up it broke the ropes in the back of the boat
and was hanging on by the front under water cept the nose. They
pulled it behind the sherrif's boat to the launch. When they
stopped it sank down again but they were able to pull it up onto
the trailer and let the water drain.

Here's the pictures......

Doesn't appear to have been much weather...

Appears there was enough, according to the original account...

I didn't realize it was the Sheriff's that tied it up that night, I thought
they just towed it to the ramp to take it out..

The sheriff didn't tie it up. Some campers had it at the dock.
The sheriff was cruizing by and saw the guys having a "problem".
They hooked to the boat and pulled it to the ramp where it was
loaded on the trailer.

Pictures for those that haven't seen them........
