VESSEL 2 AT ANCHOR, FACING WEST.  VESSEL ONE HEADING NORTHBOUND ON PLANE, APPROX 25MPH, FAILED TO SEE VESSEL 2 AND COLLIDED WITH SAME.  V2 SAW V1 APPROACHING AND ATTEMPTED TO BACK DOWN BUT COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME.  ONE PERSON WAS THROWN FROM V1, BUT RESCUED BY V2.  A PASSENGER IN V1 WAS THROWN INTO A SINK, CAUSING DAMAGE TO HER SPLEEN.  BOTH OPERATORS HAD BEEN CONSUMING ALCOHOL.  V1 CLAIMS V2 DID NOT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON.  INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT THE ANCHOR LIGHT ON V2 MAY NOT SIT HIGH ENOUGH ABOVE THE SURFACE ON WHICH ITS MOUNTED TO BE EASILY VISIBLE ALL AROUND.
