Vessel 1 was traveling east on Lake Austin at a speed determined from witness statements to be about 15 mph and collided with vessel 2 which was drifting and not underway.  The operator stated that he was looking at houses to the side of his course and did not see vessel 2 until right before impact. Vessel 1 tried throwing the boat into reverse but it was unsuccessful. Vessel 1 impacted vessel 2 slightly to the port of the bow of vessel 2 with the centerline bow point of Vessel 1.  All the occupants of vessel 2 observed vessel 1 directly before impact and jumped into the water where they were recovered by vessel 1.  No one was injured.
