Vessel 1 was traveling south by southwest, just coming on plane.  The boat was traveling to the north of two lighted hazard buoys.  The operator states he went between the hazard markers and then was on the north of them.  At this point, the boat struck a partially submerged rock causing a violent crash.  According to statements, 11 of the 12 passengers were thrown clear of the vessel.  The boat vaulted off of the rock and landed on its port side taking on water.  As the boat filled up with water from the damage holes and from landing on its port side, the boat started to sink and capsize.  Seven people swam and made it to Channel Island.  Three people remained with the boat, and two people were missing, the two were later located and were deseased.
