Vessel #1 was drift fishing in the Barnegat Inlet.  The operator of vessel #1 observed vessel #2 heading toward him and he tried to start his vessel and get out of vessel #2s path.  The operator and passengers of vessel #2 were observing some birds and when the operator looked forward he observed vessel #1 but was unable to avoid the collision.

The operator of vessel #2 failed to maintain a proper lookout and this caused this collision.
