On July 5, 2009, at approximately 1440 hours, the operator of Vessel 1 was driving in a easterly direction on Spofford Lake.  He came upon a black top navigational buoy but wasn't sure to which side of the buoy he should drive.  He drove on the south side of the buoy, where the water is shallow and there are submerged rocks.  The operator hit the rocks and disabled his boat, causing $3,764.00 worth of damage to the propeller and shaft.  There were no injuries and the disabled vessel was towed to the owner's dock by a Marine Patrol officer.
