On Sunday June 5, 2011 at approximately 16:17 V1 was anchored in Leatherwood Cove.  The operator started the engine of V1 and began heading toward Leatherwood Marina.  She had failed to retrieve the anchor from the water.  When the rope tightened and the anchor broke the surface of the water, the rope struck the passenger on the right forearm and caused a rope burn.  The rope then struck operator in the back of the neck and thrust her forward into the windshield of V1.  She received a laceration under her left eye and a broken left middle finger.  Passenger drove both injured to the Marina in V1.  EMS personnel decided to have operator flown to Vanderbilt hospital for further treatment.  Passenger was treated and released at the Marina.  The only damage to the vessel or its contents were a broken anchor rope and a lost anchor.
