RedactedNarrative: On 8/27/2023, Natural Resource Police was made aware of a collision between two vessels in the North Shore Marina by Ofc. 1 with Parks. Ofc. 2 was in the area underway on Mp-Alpha and able to check the vessels for damage. I was sent a photo showing a scuff transfer to the bow with gelcoat chipping above. I also received the vessels owners information for follow-up (see attached).
  
  On 8/28/2023 I made contact with PC-1 the owner of Vessel-2, via phone. I was advised that the vessel was a 1979 Bertram kept in (slip). PC-1 stated that he was aware and that the operator of the vessel contacted the maria manager to report the incident. This vessel was unoccupied at the time of the incident. PC-1 stated that the vessel had been restored and that the paint used was a custom blend color. I confirmed that the bow area was the only area damaged from the impact estimated repair at $2,000.00 for paint and fiberglass repair. See Reportbeam for details. 
  
  On 8/29/23 I reviewed footage from the marina at the Parks office. At approx 0608 hrs the vessel Vessel-1 owned by PC-2 pull out of the slip and stopped, making a starboard pivot. The vessel then continued forward making a wide starboard turn striking Vessel-2 with a glancing hit. The vessel did not appear to been operated at a speed greater than clutch ahead or Idle.
  
  On 9/5/2023 I was contacted  back by PC-2 via cell and provided the following details. PC-2 stated that he arrived to the vessel in the morning for a fishing trip. He departed the slip, faced out, and when he made a starboard turn, his swim ladder contacted the end of the slip preventing the vessel from turning. This would have stopped the turn momentum causing the vessel to impact the bow on my port side rub-rail. PC-2 did state that he had spoke with PC-1 afterwards to exchange info. This statement is consistent with video. The video is partially blurry and does not show anything different. Reportbeam completed due to the threshold of damages over $500.
