VESSEL 1 WAS TOWING A TUBER.  HE CAME AROUND A POINT IN GOODMAN'S COVE AND VESSEL 2 WAS OFF TO HIS STARBOARD SIDE.  VESSEL 1 MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN.  THE SHARP TURN CAUSED THE TUBER TO SLINGSHOT OUT TO THE LEFT.  THE PONTOON, VESSEL 2, TURNED TO HIS RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING VESSEL 1.  THE TUBER HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PONTOON ON VESSEL 2.  THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ALUMINUM SIDE RAIL IN TWO PLACES.  THE TUBER WAS INJURED WHEN HE MADE CONTACT WITH THE RAILING.  THE TUBER BROKE HIS FINGER, BRUISED HIS RIBS AND BRUISED THE THIGH AREA OF HIS LEG.  HE WAS TRANSPORTED BY EMS TO THE MCDOWELL HOSPITAL.  THE OPERATOR OF VESSEL 1 WAS CITED FOR RECKLESS AND NEGLIGENT OPERATION OF A VESSEL.
