Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 launched from Cottonwood North. Both vessels were on the water and powered down, just East of the Cove. Occupants of the vessels were trying to get close enough so they could talk to each other. Vessel 2 drifted into Vessel 1 with the current, causing a collision, and injury to the victim onboard Vessel 1. Wind gusts were at a high of 25 MPH, and water conditions were choppy at 2-3ft waves. Based on my investigation I determined that the accident occurred due to the weather conditions, and the operators'' admittance of lack of experience.
