This supplemental incident report is in reference to a vessel collision between two personal watercrafts (pwc's). On 08/21/2011 at approximately 1700 hrs., RFC and myself responded to 160 West Riverbend Eatonton, Georgia in reference to a personal watercraft incident. 

Upon my arrival, I spoke to the driver (of the damaged pwc) and his mother. As I spoke to Operator1, he proceeded to inform me as he was operating his pwc near the jumping rock (located on Lake Oconee in Greene County, Georgia), a bearded male on another pwc forced him into some nearby timber. Operator1 stated the unknown subject caused him to strike some standing timber causing extensive damage to his fiberglass hull. Operator1 advised his engine compartment filled with water and his friends were able to tow his pwc to the bank located next to the jumping rock. 

Operator1 said he then rode with his friends (on thier pwc) to his home, and called the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. When Operator1 was asked where were his friends on the other pwcs, he informed me they had to go home. I proceeded to transport mother and her son, (the pwc operator) back to the incident location to investigate. While inspecting the pwc, 2000 Model Polaris Virage TX GA. Registration number GA 0744 ZX with extensive fiberglass damage, I noticed the damage was not consistent with the striking of timber. The pwc hull had grooves cut into the hull and paint transfer that would be consistent with the striking of another vessel. Operator1 was confronted by my findings, and he finally admitted to striking his friend's pwc. I temporarily repaired the pwc with ductape, foiltape, cardboard,and plastic in order to be able to tow the pwc to the Longshoal's boat ramp. My investigation lead to the Marathon Gas Station located off Hwy 44 Eatonton, Georgia where I spoke to the operator of the second pwc involved (vessel b) and the pwc's owner (a third party). 

The operator of vessel B stated that at approximately 1630 hours earlier that day, he (operator vessel B) and two other PWCs were spraying each other and that Operator1 came out of a turn and struck his vessel. Operator2 was operating vessel B a 2010 Sea-Doo pwc with Georgia Registration number GA 1017 CT.
     My investigation revealed that on 08/21/2011 at approximately 1630 hours, three different pwcs were operating in a manner that was less than safe and reckless. Operator1 appeared to be operating more aggressive than the others. Earlier this same date, RFC and myself stopped these same pwcs in Lick Creek for the same type of reckless operation, warned them firmly, and let them go due to being juveniles. Operators were released to their parents.
