Witness #1 stated: I was sitting at the end of the dock and watched a boat as it was traveling north and then all of a sudden I heard a loud boom and the boat came to a complete stop. A few minutes passed and I determined that something was not right. I went inside and informed my friends of what I had witnessed. They immediately hopped in their boat to go out and help the person and boat.

Investigation Revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling north in the ICW (Barnegat Bay). For an unknown reason vessel #1 struck ICW marker # 51 causing the marker to snap in half.  The vessel sustained major damage to the front starboard side hull area. The vessel was towed  by a couple of witnesses. Barnegat Light EMS and Medics were on scene. Operator # 1 was flown to Atlantic City Medical Center, City Division, Atlantic City, due to a head injury.

On 08/05/2013 the investigator contacted operator #1. He stated that he remembered the following information about the Accident: He was going for a boat ride to the Causeway Bridge and back to Robby's Marina. While headind south in the ICW, he noticed a School of mini sailboats going across the bay. After turning around and heading north in the ICW he noticed all the sailboats were back at the dock and looking to see if they were from the bible School. That was the last thing he remembered.
