V1 WAS THE ONLY VESSEL INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT. V1 WAS ATTEMPTING TO DOCK ALONGSIDE ANOTHER VESSEL AT THE JIB CLUB MARINA JUST SOUTH OF THE 707 BRIDGE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE CAPTAIN DECIDED TO PULL INTO A SLIP INSIDE THE MARINA. THE CAPTAIN MISJUDGED THE TIDAL CURRENT WHICH WAS INCOMING AND FLOWING NORTH. THE CURRENT PUSHED THE VESSEL TOWARD THE BRIDGE. THE CAPTAIN ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VESSEL AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE WHEN IT STRUCK ONE OF THE CONCRETE SUPPORT PILINGS OF THE BRIDGE ON THE STARBOARD SIDE. THE CURRENT PUSHED THE STERN OF THE VESSEL AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF THE PILING AND CAUSED THE VESSEL TO STRIKE ANOTHER CONCRETE SUPPORT PILING IN THE STERN OF THE VESSEL. THE VESSEL PROCEEDED NORTH OF THE 707 BRIDGE WHERE IT MADE A FEW CIRCLES IN AN ATTEMPT TO RETURN SOUTH OF THE BRIDGE. AT THAT TIME, THE VESSEL RAN AGROUND JUST NORTH OF THE 707 BRIDGE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ICW.
