RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 Operator stated he was operating Vessel #1 south of a peninsula which was southeast of the north boat ramp. He said Vessel #1 was on plane (traveling approximately twenty miles per hour) about five feet to the right of the shoreline when he observed Vessel #2 which was also on plane and coming around the peninsula in the middle of the opening between the two land masses. 
  
  He said they were not coming head on with each other and explained Vessel #2 was to the right, ahead of Vessel #1. He said Vessel #2 was swinging wide and turning to its right and continued on that trajectory. He said as a result, he ''inched over'' to the left to get out of the way. He said the starboard bow (front right) of Vessel #2 ultimately collided with the starboard quarter (right rear) of Vessel #1. He said Vessel #2''s operator just ''froze up'' and did not turn one way or the other to avoid the collision. 
  
  Vessel #1 Occupant #2 stated Vessel #1 was traveling north and Vessel #2 was traveling South, both going a ''good speed'' down the middle of the channel and coming at each other head on. He said Vessel #2 was almost in the middle of the water a ways from the point of the peninsula. He said the operator of Vessel #1 ''cut away to the left'' towards the bank and ended up fifteen feet from the shoreline. He also said Vessel #2 never veered one direction or the other.  
  
  Vessel #1 Occupant #3 stated Vessel #1 was on the left side almost by the shore of the ''second island'' as it was going around a curve. He said he observed Vessel #2 initially coming towards them ''bow to bow''. He said Vessel #2 was traveling too fast in the middle of the water. He said Vessel #2 had ''made a curve'' and ''couldn''t straighten up''. He explained Vessel #2 ''kept coming in a circle'' towards Vessel #1. He said Vessel #1 operator ''gave it (wheel) a little jerk'' to get out of the way of Vessel #2. He said Vessel #2 ''clipped'' Vessel #1 in the back causing Vessel #1 to spin around. This made Vessel #1 ''clip'' Vessel #2 in the front. 
  
  Vessel #2 Operator stated he was headed south around the tip of a peninsula southeast of the north boat ramp. He said he was about thirty feet away from the shoreline. He said Vessel #1 was going northeast when it came into view and both vessels were ''coming at each other''. He said Vessel #1 was about thirty feet from the shore on its left when it turned to the left in front of Vessel #2. He said he did not have time to react and was unable to turn Vessel #2 in time. He said both vessels struck each other causing damage to the starboard quarter (right rear) of Vessel #1 and the starboard bow (front right) of Vessel #2. 
  
  Vessel #2 Passenger stated Vessel #2 was operating on plane (approximately fifteen miles per hour) close to the shore as it was coming around the bend of a peninsula southeast of the north boat launch. He said when Vessel #2 came around the bend, Vessel #1 was ''right there''. He said both vessels were turning. He said Vessel #1 cut to the left in front of Vessel #2 causing Vessel #1 to start sliding in the water. He said the two vessels collided causing damage to about a four feet section of the right rub rail on Vessel #2.
