THE BOAT THAT WAS STRUCK WAS THE ANNAPOLIS CITY PUMPOUT BOAT. I MET WITH subject 1 AND HIS SUPERVISOR. subject 1 TOLD ME THAT HE HAD PULLED UP ABOUT 30-40YDS OFF THE ANNAPOLIS CITY MARINA TO PUMP HIS BOAT OUT.HE WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT STILL DRIFTING BECAUSE OF HIS MOMENTUM. HE WAS FACING DOWNRIVER. HE WAS STRUCK ON THE STARBOARD STERN BY THE BOW OF THE HELENA WHICH WAS ALSO HEADED DOWNRIVER. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT PUSHED THE PUMPOUT BOAT TO STARBOARD. THE PUMPOUT BOAT SUSTAINED A DENT TO THE STERN. THE GELCOAT ON THE BOW OF THE HELENA WAS BADLY SCRATCHED. ACCORDING TO THE WITNESS, THE PUMPOUT BOAT WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 3KNOTS AND THE STRIKING VESSEL WAS GOING ABOUT 4-5KNOTS.BOTH VESSELS WERE ON THE SAME HEADING.ACCORDING TO subject 1'S REPORT FILED WITH THE ANNAPOLIS HARBOR MASTERS OFFICE,THE OPERATOR OF THE HELENA,LATER IDENTIFIED AS subject 2 NEVER STOPPED OR ASKED IF subject 1 OR HIS BOAT WAS ALRIGHT. subject 1 WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE NAME OF THE STRIKING VESSEL. THE NAME OF THE VESSEL IS HELENA. I HAD subject 1 COMPLETE A BOAT ACCIDENT REPORT.ACCORDING TO THE CHECK OF THE DOCUMENTATION, THE HELENA IS REGISTERED TO ORION II LLC OUT OF DENVER CO.I WAS CONTACTED BY subject 2 ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS HEADED UP SPA CREEK,MADE A U-TURN BEFORE THE EASTPORT BRIDGE AND HEADED BACK DOWNRIVER. HE TOLD ME THAT ONE OF HIS PASSENGERS, HAD STOOD UP IN THE BOAT AND BEGAN TO WARN subject 2, HE CHECKED ON subject 1'S WELFARE. I SPOKE TO subject 2 AGAIN ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. AS HE WAS DESCRIBING THE ACCIDENT HE SAID HE NEVER SAW THE BOAT. HE ADMITTED TO STRIKING THE VESSEL. I TOLD HIM WHAT THE ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO THE PUMPOUT BOAT WAS AND HE SAID HE WOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. I ALSO SPOKE TO subject 1 THAT DAY. I ASKED HIM IF subject 2 CHECKED ON HIS WELFARE. HE SAID THAT subject 2 SAID SOMETHING TO HIM BUT HE WAS NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT WAS SAID. HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "OH NICE RUNNING INTO YOU TODAY". I SPOKE TO subject 2's wife AND SHE TOLD ME THAT subject 2 DID CHECK ON THE OTHER BOATS WELFARE. subject 2 WILL BE RECEIVING A NATURAL RESOURCES NOTICE OF VIOLATION FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A PROPER LOOKOUT.
