Operator says he went to fish at the Danville Grain Elevator.  He circled the elevator a couple of times to check the wind and waves and to decide how to best approach the elevator.   He approached from the south with the intent of tying up on the eastern wall.  When he turned to boat perpendicular to the wind, the wind and waves quickly pushed the pontoon boat into the concrete canopy of the elevator.  He says as he struggled to push the pontoon boat off the wall, he cut his hand.  He was able to get the boat turned south and away from the elevator.  He drove the pontoon boat back to Buchanan Resort and then went to Eastwood Clinic in Paris for treatment.  He was diagnosed with a lacerated left hand and sprained left wrist.
