The operator of Vessel 1 was traveling at headway speed on Brandy Pond while heading back in to the Marina. Vessel 1 had its' navigation lights on when one of the onboard passengers hollered out to the operator that they were going to get run into by Vessel 2. the operator of Vessel 2 said that he recognized Vessel 1 as being out of the same Marina and he wanted to pull up alongside and talk with the operator. The operator of Vessel 2 stated that he somehow misjudged the distance between his bow and the stern of Vessel 1 and that when he started to turn to come up alongside, he was already too close and ran the bow up onto the transom of Vessel 1. The pulpit and attached anchor were driven through the clear plastic canopy that encolsed the interior of Vessel 1. There were no injuries reported on either vessel.
