ON 5/27/12, AT APPROXIMATELY 17:44 HOURS, VESSEL ONE WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE SUWANNEE RIVER, .25 MILES FROM THE MOUTH OF THE SANTA FE. VESSEL ONE OVERTOOK AN UNKNOWN VESSEL TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. AS VESSEL ONE PASSED OVER THE UNKNOWN VESSEL'S WAKE, IT HEADED DIRECTLY TOWARD VESSEL TWO, WHICH WAS TRAVELING UP THE SUWANNEE. VESSEL TWO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE MOTOR IN REVERSE, CAUSING THE VESSEL TO TURN. DUE TO LACK OF VISABILTY FROM RAIN, CONGESTED WATERWAYS, AND CARELESS OPERATION, VESSEL ONE STRUCK VESSEL TWO ON THE STARBOARD SIDE IN THE REAR.
