Operator throttled up, bow caught a gust of wind turning the bow to the starboard.  Operator over compensated with the tiller to the port.  The tiller struck the operator in the chest, knocking him over the stern into the James River.  Operator was not wearing a floatation device but was able to grab a type IV floatation device and utilize it until the Richmond Fire Department was able to pull him from the water.  Operator did not have the vessel's kill switch attached to his person when he went overboard, therefore the vessel made several circles in the middle of the river and finally ran aground.
