RedactedNarrative: On 2/13/2016 at approximately 1417 hours I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was dispatched to a boating accident in the Indian River south west of Turkey Creek in Malabar Florida involving a man that had fallen from his boat and had been hit by the propeller. 
   
  I went straight to Palm Bay Hospital where Victim had been transported.  I spoke to Victim about what had happened while he waited for his pain medicine to start working.  Victim stated that he was moving his Pearson sail boat (Florida Registration Number FL5779BT) from Turkey Creek where it had been moored to a location south of Turkey Creek to be re-moored.  Victim and subject were using the 9.9 horse power outboard attached to their sail boat as they went south.  Victim had left the canal and had turned the sail boat toward shore when the water depth went from eight feet to three feet.  The sail boat became grounded on the sand bar and would not back off of it under its own power.  The GPS location of the sail boat was approximately N 28 0 46.08; W -80 33 27.36.
   
  Subject was reversing the sail boat off of the sand bar as Victim used his small aluminum Feathercraft boat with a 9.9 horse power outboard to pull the sail boat as well.  As victim and Subject tried to power the sail boat off of the sand bar one of the lines came loose from the Feathercraft and caused the boat to accelerate and break the cleat that was securing the other line.  As the Feathercraft accelerated away from the sail boat, Victim fell into the water.  The cleat was located toward the bow of the Feathercraft. As the cleat was breaking off, the line caused the Feathercraft to be stuck in a turn. 
   
  The Feathercraft came back at Victim as he was still in the water and ran up over him.  As the Feathercraft was coming over the top of Victim he kicked the bow of the boat off but the stern came over the top of him and the propeller hit his right foot.  Victim got back into his sail boat and called for help at that time.  
   
  The Feathercraft continued forward in a constant turn moving south west and struck a white catamaran that displayed Florida registration numbers FL7213JU mid-ship on the starboard side.  The catamaran was moored at the time at GPS coordinate N 28 0 28.08; W -80 33 50.04. 
   
  The Feathercraft continued forward in circles and struck a second vessel, a red sail boat displaying Florida registration number FL7074CL that was also moored at the time.  The Feathercraft struck this vessel two times, both on the starboard side.  This vessel was moored at GPS coordinate N 28 0 27.36; W -80 33 51.85.
   
  On 2/14/2016 I looked at all vessels involved.  The Feathercraft did not appear to have damage.  The catamaran had a blue scratch on its starboard side and a crack in the window frame next to the scratch.  The red sail boat had two different blue scratches on its starboard side.  None of the scratches appeared to be deep.  I took photographs of all vessels involved (see attached) and got phone numbers to all involved parties.  
   
  On 2/19/2016 at approximately 1120 hours I followed up with Victim by phone.  Victim was in good spirits and said that he was recovering well.  He stated that he was not sure how many stitches he received (approximately 15) but did not have any broken bones and no longer had any infection.  
  End of report.
