A 17 foot 1989 Ranger outboard vessel was travelling about 30 K on the Pokomoke River in Maryland.  The steering apparently failed and the one passenger was thrown overboard  as the vessel turned sharply.  She was recovered by the operator with a 4 inch gash on her arm.  NRP transported her to shore and she was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.  After treatment including stitches, she was released.  No charges were filed.
