On 01/02/2012, operator collided with the fender system located under the Pineda Causeway (404) bridge while under sail in his 8' dingy. The collision was a result of an evasive maneuver taken to avoid collision with a larger vessel. Due to the wake generated from the larger vessel and the action taken to avoid collision with the other vessel, operator subsequently collided with the northwest portion of the fender system under the 404 bridge. This resulted in capsizing the vessel and caused operator to enter the water. operator had minor cuts to right foot resulting from climbing the fender system while exiting the water.
