  Narrative:
  On 7/22/2023 around 1700, a v-drive boat was beaching at the beach at Hobbie Cat. A male jumped out of the boat to start swimming the boat was maneuvering to prepare for the anchor. The operator stated that as he was pulling into shore, he shut of the motor and dropped the anchor. He then heard VICTIM cut his foot. VICTIM stated he was trying to swim away from the boat and then felt his foot get hit the prop. 
  
  A Passenger hopped out and ran toward the truck and took VICTIM to the clinic parking lot where myself and Ranger were briefing for the event of the day. SUBJECT1 approached us around 1713 and stated that he need medical attention. National Park Service Rangers (NPS) called in the clinic staff and began to work on the individual at the entrance to the clinic. NPS Rangers applied a tourniquet (TQ) around 1720 to control the bleeding. I started getting info from the driver of the vehicle that drove to the clinic. He stated that the boat was currently at the Hobie Cat Beach and was anchored. With NPS handling patient I made contact at Hobie Cat beach with the boat. I was able to have them go over to the main dock where I could start my investigation of the boat accident. 
  
  OPERATOR was the operator and docked at the main ramp. I gathered information on what took place and had OPERATOR fill out a witness statement on what happened. The statement stated " Pulled into shore got close and turned around, shut the motor off, dropped anchor and heard one of my passengers jumped in and cut his foot." The other passengers on the boat stated the same statement when asked. I did not see any open containers and OPERATOR showed no signs of impairment. They had everything they needed safety wise and everything was current. I explained what the next step were for them and their friend. I returned back to the clinic to help coordinate classic air.
  
  After Medical staff arrived at the clinic they attempted to stop the bleeding, into giving aid they requested to call in classic air. I notified Dispatch around 20:30 that air medical was requested and to have them land at the clinic LZ. 
  
  Medical aid:
  I didn't give any medical aid to VICTIM ,but talked to the individual about the incident and he stated that it was his fault and should have just waited. He said he just remembered the boat turning and then his pain in his foot. National Park Service and the clinic handled the medical aid, until Air Med/ Classic arrived at 21:27 and took off for Grand Junction about 30 mins later.
  
  NOTE: Waiting on Insurance Card to be sent from OPERATOR. Due to limited service it might take till individual gets home. Will add to report at later time once received.
