On the afternoon of August 22 my boat was at anchor approximately 40 yards offshore of Meadowmere Park on Lake Grapevine. I was in the water swimming with my four children while my wife read a book in the boat. My kids were swimming off the rear swim platform of the boat as I floated on the aft, port side watching them. I heard my oldest daughter scream, I turned to look over my shoulder as a personal watercraft was bearing down on the port side of the boat. I saw the operator jump backwards off of the watercraft as it slammed into the mid section of the boat. My wife was thrown by the impact onto the floor of the boat, shaken up but unhurt. I checked on my wife and then swam to the operator of the PWC to ensure he was ok. He was a young kid, scared but not hurt. His father had been watching from shore and swam out to the scene. The father and son apologized for the incident and assured us he would pay for the damages. After examining the damage to my boat my wife called 911 and asked for a Game Warden to come write up an accident report. The father asked if they could leave and assured us he would pay for damages. They told us the PWC had been rented from a store in Plano and we insisted they stay until the officer arrived but they left the scene and we got no information from them.  

Operator of Vessel 1 Completed the report
