RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was en route to the beach off Eastlake CEI Power Plant.  As Vessel 1 approached the shore, the Operator accidentally ran Vessel 1 aground and was unable to get Vessel 1 free and back afloat.  The Operator of Vessel 1 then tied the vessel off to a log partially buried onshore so Vessel 1 would not drift off, intending to return later and remove Vessel 1 from the beach; the Operator and Occupant aboard Vessel 1 were able to walk to shore from the grounded Vessel 1 and suffered no injuries as a result of the accident.  Between the time Vessel 1 was grounded and the time that the Operator returned to retrieve Vessel 1, the weather and wave conditions worsened, causing Vessel 1 to be washed further ashore and causing severe damage to Vessel 1 from the wave action.  Vessel 1 suffered significant damage to the hull and interior, with most of the interior being scattered along the beach along with personal property, boating equipment, and safety gear.  Vessel 1 was later towed back to East Bank Marina.
