On July 9, 2013, Ranger advised of a boating incident that had taken place over the weekend. At approximatly 1:00PM, Ranger and I arrived at Harrison's Auto and spoke with Operator about the boating incident and photographed the boat that was involved. Operator was couperative and gave us a written statment of the events that had taken place.

	On July 6, 2013 operator and wife left from the Savage Island Dock on Ft McAllister State Park and traveled by water to Marker 107, a resturant off Kilkeeny Creek.  They arrived at the resturanrt around 8:45PM. Around 10:00PM they began to head back to Savage Island. While at the returant they met with friends, who were also headed back to Savage Island. One of which had a GPS and was going to lead the way back. Just before getting underway they realized the GPS was not working. Operator said he had traveled the river a few times and would try and lead the way back. While traveling through Skipper Narrows Creek Operator looked at the boat behind him and when he turned around he realized he was about to run into the marsh and turned hard to the right. Operator said when he turned hard right the boat skiped. When the boat skipped it impacted the marsh and flipped over throwing him and his wife into the marsh and clear of the boat. When the boat impacted the marsh the Console, T-Top, and Leaning Post were torn loose and also thrown out of the boat. Operator and his wife were picked up by one of the friends following them and they were taken back to Marker 107. From there they got a ride and traveled back to Savage Island by Vehical. The following morning Operator called subject to help him turn the boat back over and towe it to Savage island and put it back on the trailer. 

	Operator did not suffer any injuries and his wife recieved a  tetnas shot at Urgent Care in Richmond Hill due to stepping on an oyster shell in the marsh while getting to the boat picking them up. When Operator was asked why he did not report the incident he advised he did not know he had to. I advised Operator he was required to report any boating incident to DNR and failure to do so could result in criminal charges.
