The Operator of Vessel purchased Vessel 1 and attempted to transport Vessel 1 back home by water to Chicago.  The Operator had never owned a boat before and was unable to fuel Vessel 1 on his own; he then decided to travel to Cedar Point Marina en route to Chicago to purchase fuel for Vessel 1.  As Vessel 1 was coming into Sandusky Bay it ran out of fuel.  Water conditions were rough at this time and Vessel 1 subsequently washed onto the rocks at the Cedar Point Breakwall.
