On 5/26/13 at approximately 3:05 p.m., I was notified of an injury at Hemenway Harbor.  I was, at the time, at the top of the ramp so I responded to the courtesy dock.  At the dock, I contacted subject who was sitting of the end of the dock.  I observed that she had scratches on her lower left leg and was bleeding from the top of her left hand.  NPS Ranger arrived to administer first aid.  As he was assessing the situation, I was contacted by the owner of a blue and white Glastron vessel parked on the right side of the courtesy dock.  She stated her boat was the vessel tied to the dock on the south side.  At the time of the incident, a second vessel attempted to dock on the end of the courtesy dock.  Due to high winds (approx. 15-20 mph), he overshot his landing location.  

The vessel then was headed toward vessel2.  It should be noted that Victim was with the group.  As she fended off the vessel, the wind caught the bow and started to take the boat away from the dock.  Victim at this point had over extended herself and fell into the water.  As she entered the water, she received minor scratches to her left lower leg and a cut on the top of her left hand.  Several people on the dock assisted her out of the water.
The vessel which came into the dock (V1) was owned and operated by Operator1.  Upon the completion of my interview, I contacted Operator1 as he was retrieving his vessel at Hemenway launch ramp.  I asked if he was involved in the incident at the courtesty dock, he stated "Yes".  He relayed the exact set of circumstances I received from victim, except that he had put the boat in neutral as he approached the dock which caused him to lose the ability to steer his boat.  A passenger on the vessel was relayed the same information I received from his father.
