Vessel 2 was anchored at the first spoil island north of the Venetian causeway in the ICW.  The owner of vessel 2 and another person were sitting on the sand behind their vessel.  There was a wave runner (Vessel 1) operating in the area.  The operator of the wave runner (Vessel 1) approached Vessel 2 at a high rate of speed, lost control and slammed into the starboard bow of Vessel 2 damaging the Hull and the cabin.  Vessel 1 did not receive any damage.  Remarkably no one was injured.  The operator of Vessel 1 was cited for careless operation.
