Vessel #1 was travelling east from the 3rd Street Marina to the Silver beach Marina.  The operator stated he was heading towards the Silver Beach Marina and struck a log boom.  Due to striking the log boom, the vessel began to take on water and eventually sank at the location.  Neither the operator nor the passenger was injured in the accident but they both had to be pulled from the water by rescue personnel.
 
During the investigation I determined that the Operator was confused on what marina he was going into and struck a log boom that surrounds the driving range at the resort golf course.  This boom is normally lit by white lights, but I was unable to determine if they were working at the time of the accident due to the log boom being submerged as a result of the boat sinking.  
 
After the vessel was pulled out of the water, the boom surfaced and the lights were in place and operational.

operator had been drinking.
