V-1 was heading west in the Mayport Inlet toward Mayport boat ramp. V-1 struck an object that was red in color based on the damage to the vessel. The V-1 operator said that another vessel had hit him. USCG did not find red boat that had struck V-1 in the St. Johns River. There are no reports of a damaged red vessel,any injuries to anyone on a red vessel, or any debris in the river from two vessel colliding into one another.  On 6/13/13, I inspected the buoys in the Mayport Inlet.  I found damage, fiberglass and paint transfers to the #10 red can-buoy that appeared to be from V-1. ; victim was treated for bruised ribs and released from the hospital later on that night.
