RedactedNarrative: V1 occupants were leaving the washington area on the pamlico river around 12:00am and headed east along the north shore with Operator1 operating the boat.  They were approximately one half mile from their residence and Operator1 started to operate the boat closer to the shore line.  V1 occupant had gone to the front of the boat to retrieve Operator1 pocketbook.  When V1 occupant looked up, he noticed they were near the crab pots.  He ran back to the console to tell Operator1 to turn away from the shore.  He looked back up and noticed a dock in front of them and he reached over and turned the wheel to the right.  As soon as he turned to the right, the boat made impact with the dock and ramped the boat on top of the dock and through another boat that was sitting on a boat lift connected to that dock.  Operator1 said she had only operated a boat 1-2 times and they were not using a spotlight.
