The following boating accident occurred on June 10, 2012, at approximately 1500 hours. 

The operator of Vessel I was sightseeing and heading in an easterly direction.  He was looking up at his surroundings and failed to pay attention to the navigational hazards before him.  The propeller of the vessel struck a rock and the force caused the stern to rise up about 6 inches.  Upon landing, the propeller struck the rock a second time, causing the strut and the shaft to bend and resulting in the prop blade scoring the bottom of the hull.  The boat was no longer functional, so the operator called a friend to tow him in. There were no injuries. The damage amounted to $4,600.00.
