ON WED, MAY 27TH AT APPROXIMATELY 7PM THERE WAS A BOATING ACCIDENT IN BALD HEAD MARINA.  OPERATOR WAS OPPERATING HIS NEW 64FT POWER BOAT WHEN HE WAS BLINDED BY THE SUN TRYING TO MANUVER IN THE MARINA.  OPERATOR ADVISED ME THAT HIS BOAT HAS RED LIGHTS THAT CUT ON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GEAR SHIFT WHEN HIS VESSEL IS IN GEAR.  HE ADVISED ME THAT DUE TO THE SUN BLINDING HIM, HE DIDN'T SEE THE RED LIGHTS SHINING.  AT THIS TIME HE LEFT THE WHEEL AND PROCEEDED TO THE STERN OF THE VESSEL.  NOT KNOWING THAT THE VESSEL WAS STILL IN GEAR, THE 64FT VESSEL COLLIDED WITH THE BALD HEAD FERRY DOCK.  NO INJURIES OCCURRED AND NO ALCOHOL WAS PRESENT IN THIS ACCIDENT.
