Vessel #1 was towing a waterskier in Drum Thorofare.  Drum Thorofare is a narrow body of water which is not wide enough by law to ski in.

The Skier , on a single slalom ski, went out to the starboard side of vessel #1 and when he looked down he saw he was in about 2 to 3 inches of water.  The Ski then struck the sand bar and the skier fell.  He stated that he could not feel anything.  He was placed on a back board and transported to the hospital.

The skier later recovered his mobility but did suffer a broken neck.
