Vessel hit headpin coming into Snake Creek channel and sustained damage to starboard bow.  There were no injuries.

On May 28, 2013, Operator was headed to Coast Guard Station Islamorada from the oceanside of Islamorada.  As he was heading into Snake Creek, he hit the wake from a larger vessel that had come through just recently and hit the headpin marker with the starboard bow section of his vessel.  

I asked Operator if this occurred due to the larger vessel not paying attention to possible damage to other vessels due to wake, he said no that the vessel had come through before him; he said he misjudged water/seas.  

The vessel sustained approximately $4000 worth of damage.  Along with damage to the starboard bow section of vessel, the vessel also sustained minor damage to the t-top structure.  This was caused when Operator hit it with his shoulder during the accident.  I asked if he had any injuries and he said no.
