RedactedNarrative: Operator of Vessel 1 was attempting to make a turn into a canal with a row of pilings at the opening.  The operator did not turn in the correct spot where the pilings had the widest gap.  The operator was cruising at approximately 30 mph and tried to turn in between two pilings just about as wide as Vessel 1.  The operator struck both of the pilings and was ejected from the vessel.  Vessel 1 then ran aground.  The passenger was not ejected.  No kill switch was used.  PFD was worn by passenger, but not worn by operator.  No injuries.
