WHEN OFFICERS APPROCHED THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT IT APPEARED THAT THE VESSEL HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED  TO HAVE TRAVELLED AS FAR UP THE BANK AS IT HAD.  IT APPEARED THAT THE HULL HAD RECEIVED THE MAJORITY OF THE IMPACT AND SUSTAINED THE MOST DAMGE, BUT THER WAS DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE VESSEL AS WELL. THE FIBERGLASS HULL HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL MAJOR GASHES FROM THE ROCKS THAT LAID ON THE BANK. OTHER PARTS OF THE VESSEL THAT SUSTAINED DAMAGE WERE THE LOWER UNIT AND PROPELLER WHICH AD ALSO RECEIVED GASHES AND DENTS. ONE OF THE TRIM TABS AND BOW EYE HAD BOTH BROKE. THE CURVED WINDSHIELD ON THE PORT SIDE WAS BUSTED IN HALF. LOOKING AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE GUNWALE OF THE VESSEL, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED DUE TO THE COoLER FULL OF OPENED BEER CANS. ALSO LAYING ON THE BOW OF THE VESSEL WAS AN OPENED BEER CAN. ALCOHOL WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR ADN PFD'S WERE NOT BEING WORN OR USED.
