On 06/01/2011 at approximately I was notified of a minor boat accident at the Mill Creek Ramp courtesy dock involving two watercraft.  I arrived on scene at 18:30 hrs.  
Unit #2 operator advised he was tied to the courtesy dock programming his GPS/Fishfinder when he observed Unit #1, a White Bayliner approach the courtesy dock.  At the courtesy dock operator Occupant on v1 and an adult passenger exited and advised the female onboard to be careful and not strike Unit #2.  Operator2 advised he made eye contact with Occupant on v1 and turned back to his GPS/FishFinder.  Operator2 advised he heard Unit #1 strike his boat (Unit #2) on the port/stern corner.  Operator2 advised Unit #1 came to rest against his motor and the bow was over his port stern.  Operator2''s watercraft was scratched about 4 inches on the Gel-coat on the port stern corner and the motor fiberglass cowling was crushed on the port side of his motor.  No other damage was noted.  Operator2 did not remember hearing any RPM changes in Unit #1''s motor when the accident occurred.  Operator2 advised he called requesting an accident report for insurance purposes.

I spoke to Unit #1 Operator and her husband/witness.  Husband advised he piloted Unit #1 to the courtesy dock and exited with another adult male passenger.  After exiting Husband and the former passenger pushed Unit #1 back from the courtesy dock.  Husband warned Operator1 to watch out for Unit #2 and he turned to retrieve his boat and trailer from the parking lot.  Operator1 advised she was moving towards the operator''s seat  with the intent to operate the watercraft when Unit #1 made contact and came to rest on Unit #2.  Operator1 advised she had not touched the shifter or entered the operator''s seat before impact with Unit #1.  Husband and Operator1 spoke and exchanged insurance information with Operator2.  Husband advised Unit #2 had no reverse capability throughout the day.  No other mechanical issues were noted. Operator1 reported no damage to Unit #1.  I additionally observed no damage to Unit #1.  

Both operators were mailed BAR forms on 06/02/2011 to submit to the Department.
