Vessel 1 was anchored from the bow and the stern with eight persons on board; the Operator reported that Vessel 1 had to be "moved" several times during the day in order to stay in the position they wanted Vessel 1 in, which was done by leaving the stern anchor line in the water and pulling the bow anchor line.  When the party decided to pull both anchors and leave the area they discovered that the stern anchor line was entangled in the propeller, presumably due to the "moving" that was done earlier in the day.  One of the Occupants (the Victim) entered the water to free the stern anchor line from the prop at which time the Operator started Vessel 1 inadvertently resulting in a laceration to the right hand of the Victim which required stitches.
