Vessel 1 was heading north on the Connecticut River through Portland. Two cabin cruisers passed on vessel 1's port side,  heading south. The vessels were following each other and throwing large wakes. Operator 1 was able to negotiate the wake from the first boat but the second wake over took vessel 1. Vessel 1 got caught in the wake causing the bow to slam down very hard. Operator 1 shouted a warning but the victim never saw the wake coming. The victim was in the bow of the boat and as a result sustained injury to the tailbone.
