Operator of V-1 was traveling northbound in the ICW, on plane, when he saw channel marker 21 at the last second. He tried to avoid it by turning his vessel to the right but swiped the marker on the port side of the vessel anyway. Operator advised that he then put the vessel in reverse to avoid collision with a dock but due to forward momentum the vessel kept traveling and crashed into a dock and the shoreline of mangroves. The t-top caught the dock and stopped the vessel.  One person who was sitting on the bow was injured.; Victim received 10 staples on the back of her head (right-side). It is believed she hit her head on a mangrove branch upon impact with dock and shoreline.
