On july 20, 2013, at approximately 11:30am, operator2, vessel 2, was traveling north on the icw.  Operator2 slowed down to go over a large wake produced by a boat traveling south on the icw.  Shortly after slowing down, operator2 heard someone yelling from behind him.  He turned around and observed a pwc, vessel 1, about 5 ft away from the back of his boat, traveling in his direction as approximately 10 mph.  Operator2 stated the pwc ran into the back of his boat.
Operator1, vessel 1, was traveling north on the icw.  After observing a boat coming towards him in the opposite direction, operator1 got behind vessel 2.  After the vessel traveling south passed by, operator1 attempted to maneuver around vessel 2.  Operator1 stated he was approximately 30 ft away from vessel 2 when he attempted to accelerate and maneuver around.  Operator1 struck the wake created by vessel 2 and the oncoming boat caused him to be redirected towards and into the back of vessel 2.
There were no injuries as a result of the boating incident.
Vessel 1 sustained approximately $1000.00 in damage.
Vessel 2 sustained approximately $5000.00 in damage.
