RedactedNarrative: Vesse1 was in operation when it ran aground on a sandbar.  
  Investigation revealed that the GPS would not turn on prior to the accident.  It is unknown whether or not the GPS would have shown the sand bar.  Although there is a day marker with a light on the sand bar, the end of the sandbar shifts in location over the course of the year as a result of wind and wave action.
