On Saturday July 28, 2012 at 19:00 hours I was dispatched to a stranded vessel operated by Operator with seven passengers.  After a short search I located OPERATOR and towed him into the Provo marina without incident.  While filling out a safety inspection OPERATOR stated that he struck the Geneva pipe believing that the buoys that were there were wakeless buoy's.  Two people sustained minor injuries.  Victim1 was sitting in the bow of the vessel and was thrown forward and was ejected from the vessel.  He sustained a cut on the right forearm.  I washed out the wound and applied a band aid.  Victim2 was thrown out of the passenger side bench seat and sustained a bruised left leg.  Operator was thrown against the steering wheel.  I photographed the damage I could find.  I could smell an alcoholic beverage coming off of several different passengers and witnessed several empty beer cans being thrown out.  I had Operator tested for alcohol via PBT.  He tested negative for alcohol.
