     On July 2, 2013 Operator and family members were on Black Creek in her dad's 21 foot open deck boat. They had been enjoying a day on the water tubing and swimming on Black Creek. They were at a rope swing on the North bank, when bad weather started to move in.

     Operator was operating V1 leaving the rope swing area on Black Creek. They were heading East on the waterway going to Knights Boat Ramp. V1 was on a full plane running right of center in the creek. At some point Operator was putting some trash in a trash bag located at her feet. It appears that V1 veered towards the South shoreline where an overhanging tree was located. The Bimini top of V1 caught the overhanging tree causing V1 to turn sharply towards the South bank. V1 continued through the shoreline, impacting trees, cypress knees, and tree limbs. V1 came to rest out of the water on the shoreline in the wooded area. Five of the eight people onboard received injuries.
