BASED ON INFORMATION TO DATE:  On July 16, 2009 at approximately 10:15 am Vessel 1 was coming around the point, entering Bat Creek embayment, while Vessel 2 was coming around the same point exiting Bat Creek embayment. A third, uninvolved vessel passed between Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 throwing up a rooster-tail of water that obstructed the vision between Vessel 1 and Vessel 2. Both Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 tried to alter their course to avoid collision, but they both altered in the same direction. Vessel 2 then spun hard right. The back left corner of Vessel 2 struck the right side of Vessel 1 between the live-well and the front deck.
