On the evening of 6/22/13, two people were involved in a boating accident that occurred on badin lake near the island close to uwharrie point.  On 6/28/13, i received a phone call from operator1 stating he was involved in a boat accident.  Operator1 was able to give me the information of the other person involved in the accident.  I told operator1 that i was willing to meet with him to help him fill out the report if he was available to do so on saturday 6/29/13 at around noon.  Operator1 stated he would not be able to do this.  Since operator1 was unable to meet, i got his email address and sent him the ncwrc 4.1 boating accident report.  I instructed him to fill it out and email it back to me.  After i received the 4.1 boating accident report from operator1, i called operator2.
Operator1 stated that his son in law and he were coming off the island near uwharrie point when a boat being driven by operator2 was coming in their direction.  Operator1 started yelling "hey" "hey" to get the driver's attention.  Operator1 stated that the bow of the boat hit the kayak that he was in throwing him into the water.  Operator1 stated that operator2 came to the aid of him and took him back to the uwharrie point country club dock where they gathered each others information and parted ways.  Operator1 ended up going to stanly regional hospital to have his shoulder x-rayed.  The x-ray came back negative for any damages.
Operator2 stated that he was exiting the cove adjacent to uwharrie country club and observed a sailboat approximately 18 feet in length with a 15-20 foot mast moving in front of him.  He stated the sailboat was moving left to right of the bow of his boat at a distance of approximately 75-150 yards.  Operator2 was unable to give a speed, but stated he was not on plane.  Operator2 kept an eye on the sailboat because he stated he could see the red and blue hull of the sailboat.  When the sailboat passed the hull of operator2's vessel, he heard someone shout what he believed was "hey".  At that point, operator2 saw two kayaks.  Operator2 took evasive actions to avoid any type of collision by giving his vessel more horsepower and steering hard to the left and then to the right.  After operator2 passed the two kayaks, he turned his vessel around and lowered his trolling motor so he could get over to operator1 and his son in law.  Operator1 was able to get into the operator2 vessel on his own control  operator2 was able to get operator1 back to the uwharrie country club dock.  Operator2 stated that he asked multiple times if operator1 needed any type of medical treatment and he declined.  They ended up giving each other their contact information at the dock.  Neither boat nor kayak had any type of damage to them.
