On May 30, 2009, at approximately 1145 hours, Vessel 1 was cruising in a southeasterly direction at about 15 MPH.  The vessel was being operated in the vicinity of two small islands when the stern struck some partially submerged rocks.  As the vessel neared the hazard, a person on one of the islands yelled out to the operator to watch out, but the operator was unable to avoid hitting the rocks.  After the collision, the vessel was driven back to the operator's residence.  

The accident was reported to the NH Marine Patrol on June 15, 2009, after a damage estimate in excess of $2,000.00 was received by the owners of the vessel.
