ON 4/10/12 AT ABOUT 1100HRS I WAS APPROACHED BY THE AZ GAME AND FISH OFFICERS ABOUT A NON INJURY BOAT ACCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED AT THE SCORPION BAY MARINA. THE AZ GAME AND FISH OFFICERS STATED THAT THEY WERE ON BOARD A GAME AND FISH VESSEL OPERTING IN THE "B" ROW OF SLIPS WHEN THEY OBSERVED VESSEL 1 EXIT ITS SLIP UNDER POWER FROM SLIP AND IT STRUCK 2 OTHER UNOCCUPIED VESSELS IN SLIPS CAUSING DAMAGE. I CONTACTED THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF VESSEL 1 AND SHE TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS OPERATING HER VESSEL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT SLIP. SHE STATED SHE IS AN iNEXPERIENCED OPERATOR AND THE AZ GAME AND FISH BOAT OPERATING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY MADE HER NERVIOUS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I DID NOT WITNESS THE ACCIDENT, BUT I DID SEE THAT THE AZ GAME AND FISH VESSEL WAS AT LEAST 4 TO 5 BOAT LENGTHS AWAY. SHE STATED INITIALLY WHE BELIEVED SHE HIT THE DOCK, SHE DID NOT REALIZE SHE STRUCK ANOTHER VESSEL. SHE STATED THAT NEITHER SHE OR HER PASSENGER WERE INJURED. VESSEL 1 WAS DRIVEN BACK INTO SERVICE UNDER ITS OWN POWER, IT HAD SUSTAINED SOME GOUGING ON THE PORT SIDE HULL AND MIDSHIP.
