RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was being operated from Vermilion to Beaver Park (in a westward direction) when a storm hit.  The Operator of Vessel 1, who had limited experience with this particular vessel despite significant experience in boating in general, was attempting to enter the harbor from the west with waves striking the starboard quarter of Vessel 1.  As Vessel 1 approached the entrance, a large wave (estimated at 6-8 feet) pushed Vessel 1 onto the rocks at the eastern wall on the inside of the channel.  Vessel 1 then slid off the rock wall back into the water causing extensive damage to the propellers, drive shafts, rudders, and the underside of the vessel.
