Around 4:45am, vessel 1 was traveling west in taylor's creek when it collided with vessel 2.  Vessel 2 was at anchor with his bow pointed northward.  Vessel 1 ran into vessel 2's starboard side around mid ship.  A surf board on vessel 2 took most of the impact.  The lines and rigging on the starboard side of vessel 2 were torn off and hanging.  Vessel 1 did not have any damage except for some slight gel coat chipping.  Subject  was asleep on vessel 2 when it was struck by vessel 1.  No one showed signs of any injuries at the time of the accident.  No other parties witnessed the incident.
 
After speaking with both individuals by phone, i met with owner of marga.  After further investigation of his vessel, i confirmed that subject had a solar powered all around light.  I was unable to see either vessel's lights before impact, therefore i do not know the configuration of lights they were displaying at the time of impact.
