ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2010, THERE WAS A BOATING ACCIDENT ON THE CAPE FEAR RIVER IN FRONT OF THE CASWELL BEACH PIER.  DURING THE CHECK OUT LINE OF THE US OPEN KING MACKERAL TOURNAMENT, V1 COLLIDED WITH A MOTOR ON V2.  THE TIDE WAS FALLING CAUSING THE CURRENT TO BE VERY SWIFT NEAR THE CHECK OUT STATION.  V1 ADVISED ME THAT THE CURRENT WAS TAKING HIM FORWARD FAST AND THAT HE COULD NOT BACK UP DUE TO A SMALL 16FT JOHN BOAT BEHIND HIM.  NOT BEING ABLE TO BACK, V1 COLLIDED WITH ONE OF THE THREE MOTORS ON THE BACK OF V2.  NOBODY WAS INJURED AND NO ALCOHOL WAS PRESENT DURING THE TIME OF THIS ACCIDENT.
