V1 was traveling south in the Homosassa River, coming from the Blue Waters, (main spring), heading towards the public boat ramp at Macrae's.  V2 was traveling north on the Homosassa River in proximity of V1.  V1 was on a full plane and had just past V3 coming around marker three in the marked channel.  V1 had to swing wide in the narrow part of the channel to pass V3.  V1's passing of V3 in conjunction with the speed of V1 caused the operator to veer wide in the channel to make the turn.  V1 entered far into the path of the oncoming vessel, V2, in the marked channel.  V2 was still at idle speed, preparing to go to full throttle. V1's wide turn, due to his high rate of speed, caused him to enter into the opposing lane within the channel, and subsequently causing V1 to impact V2 with the bow of V1, impacting the port side of V2 midship.  V1 ramped over the side of the vessel causing one person in V2 to be ejected, and hitting another occupant of V2 in the head.
