On August 14, 2009, at approximately 2130 hours, the operator of Vessel 1 was maneuvering his boat under a draw bridge.  There was a considerable current as he passed under the bridge, and it was windy.  As a result of these weather factors, the vessel struck the bridge, causing damage to both the boat and the bridge.  The operator struck an electrical box which he claimed stuck out beyond the concrete abutments.
