ON JULY 14, 2010, I WAS CALLED OUT FOR A BOATING ACCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED ON LAKE CHATUGE.  THE ACCIDENT WAS CALLED IN BY A PERSON WALKING ON THE DAM.  THE LAKE WAS CALM WITH VERY LITTLE BOAT TRAFFIC.  VESSEL 1 OPERATOR SAID HE HAD TAKEN HIS KIDS OVER TO A SWIM AREA AT JACK RABBIT.  THEY WERE RETURNING TO A CAMPER THEY HAD AT THE CLAY COUNTY RECREATION PARK.  op1 SAID THAT THE SUN WAS GETTING LOW IN THE SKY AND HE JUST NEVER SAW THE BOAT HE HIT.  

VESSEL 2 OPERATOR SAID THEY HAD ANCHORED DOWN NEAR THE DAM TO GO SWIMMING.  THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN INTO THE WATER YET WHEN THEY SAW THIS BOAT APPROACHING THEM.  THEY SCREAMED AND WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN TRYING TO GET THE OPERATOR'S ATTENTION.  THE OTHER BOAT STRUCK THEM IN THE STARBOARD REAR OF THE BOAT.
