ON JUNE 27, 2009, APPROXIMATELY 9:45 P.M., OPERATOR AND PASSENGER OF BOAT 1 WERE LEAVING SANDY BEACH.  AS THEY GOT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE, CRUISING SPEED AT 15 TO 20 MPH, BETWEEN GOOSE ISLAND AND OKIE BEACH, THE PASSENGER OF BOAT 1 LOOKED BACK AND SAW A BOAT COMING IN THEIR DIRECTION (BOAT 2) AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 MPH.  WHEN THE PASSENGER FIRST LOOKED BACK, THE BOAT WAS 200 YARDS AWAY.  THE PASSENGER KEPT WATCHING THE BOAT COMING CLOSER TOWARDS THEM.  WHEN HE REALIZED THE BOAT WASN'T SLOWING DOWN, THE PASSENGER TOLD THE OPERATOR TO "HIT IT".  THE OPERATOR OPENED THE THROTTLE ALL THE WAY AND HEARD THE BOAT COMING UP ON THEM ON THE RIGHT (SO HE THOUGHT?), SO HE TURNED HARD LEFT AND BOAT 2 TURNED HARD RIGHT?  RIGHT BEFORE THE COLLISION.  BOAT 2 NEVER SLOWED DOWN OR TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHAT HAD OCCURRED.  BOAT 1 CHECKED FOR HOLES AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO SHORE JUST IN CASE THEY WERE TAKING IN WATER.
