RedactedNarrative: On May 26th at approximately 9:30 pm V2 subjects were sailing their 27 ft. sailboat around the fishing pier at Seawolf Park.  Operator2 was steering the vessel under motor power and was not using the sail.  Operator2 was headed around Pelican Island and towards Offat’s Bayou to eat at the new restaurant.  They then planned on docking in the Bayou overnight.  As they were heading past the fishing pier at Seawolf Park and towards the concrete ship, Operator2 noticed a motor boat heading in the opposite direction coming towards them.  The motor boat was originally on a close parallel course to the sailboat.  Operator2 was steering the vessel and Occupant was standing in the doorway to the cabin when the motor vessel changed course and headed straight at them.  Occupant remembers seeing a white hull with chrome railing on the bow impact the starboard side of the vessel towards the back of the sailboat.  Occupant was then thrown into the cabin of the boat and was possibly knocked unconscious for an undetermined amount of time.  Operator2 was thrown out of the boat and into the water.  When Occupant was once again coherent, she went back up on deck and saw no sign of the boat that had hit them.  She then heard Operator2 moaning in pain.  She found him clinging to the motor of the boat, and was able to pull him back on board.  Operator2 was complaining of chest pain and was having trouble breathing.  Occupant then called 911 on her phone and the dispatcher notified the Galveston coast Guard Station.  The coast Guard arrived at approximately 10:30 pm and took both Operator2 and Occupant to UTMB Galveston.  The boat was towed back to the GYB.  Occupant had minor contusions and a possible concussion.  Operator2 was admitted to the ICU with three broken ribs, a punctured lung and a lacerated liver.
  Operator1 was operating inattentively.
