On July 31, 2012, at approximately 1700 hrs, V1 was docking his vessel, attempting to pull his vessel into his slip. At idle speed, V1 was moved by wind and a possible failure of one engine, preventing the operator to sufficiently control his vessel. V1 drifted to the boat lift directly adjacent to his slip, striking V2 while on the lift. The V1 bow struck the V2 starboard stern and rear starboard motor. V2 was pushed off it's boat lift, landing bow down into the ICW. After striking V2, V1 struck a piling located next to the boat lift. The piling was pushed forward and is resting at approximately a 40 degree angle.
