RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was boarded by the USCG for a routine boarding. Once on board, they observed that the operator had facial injuries and two passengers were complaining of injuries sustained from what the operator described as "hitting something in the water". The boarding team also observed that the vessel was taking on water and decided to terminate the voyage and tow the vessel back to the launch. That boarding team noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage on the operator as well as the passengers, and observed numerous open beer bottles on the deck. The boarding team began dewatering the vessel and were met at the dock by members on the police department and ambulance company. The operator was transported via ambulance for head injuries, and another passenger was taken to the hospital via private vehicle for bruised ribs and hip.
