RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was travelling north/northeast at approximately 18-22 knots and was lined up with 2 of 3 white shipping channel markers in order to stay east of the 3rd marker off Bay Point.  At approximately 75 yards east of the 3rd marker the water depth rapidly changed from 6-8 feet of depth to no depth as the sandbar apparently extended well beyond the 3rd marker.  The Operator rapidly throttled back at this point, causing the Occupant in the bench seat to slide off and strike the cabin door.  The Operator refrained from turning at this point in order to minimize additional injury to the Victim and Vessel 1 came to a stop as it slid through the sand.
