Vessel 1, with only the Operator aboard, was idling toward Margaretaville between the railroad tracks and Route 6 when the Operator reached inside the forward compartment of Vessel 1 to retrieve a docking line.  As the Operator did so, her upper torso made contact with the throttle of Vessel 1 and turned Vessel 1 to the port side.  This action caused Vessel 1 to collide with the port outboard engine of Vessel 2, which was moored to its dock at Cold Creek Trout Camp.  The Operator of Vessel 1 stated that she did not believe the collision had caused damage to either vessel and therefore left the scene.  Witnesses who observed the collision contacted law enforcement who later located the Operator of Vessel 1 at Margaretaville.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was observed and tested for alcohol use/impairment and self-reported that she had consumed one beer following the accident.
