RedactedNarrative: On the 4th day of July, 2015 at approximately 4:30 P.M. In the afternoon, operator1 (Vessel 1) was operating out of Masonboro to Masonboro Inlet while (Vessel 2) was operating into Masonboro from Masonboro Inlet. The waters were highly congested during that time. It was mid to low tide, therefore only a narrow channel was available to enter and exit the Masonboro area. (Vessel 2) was angled towards the port side of (Vessel 1) while (Vessel 1) was heading out of Masonboro along with many other vessels operating in and out of Masonboro. 
  
  As (Vessel 2) operated towards the entrance of Masonboro at a speed under 10 MPH, (Vessel 1) throttled up to plane and began making way out of Masonboro. Once (Vessel 1) got on plane, (Vessel 1) turned to the left to pass (Vessel 2) on the starboard side of the vessels. During (Vessel 1) maneuvering, (Vessel 1) was intercepted on the port side by a wake, (Vessel 1) then made contact with the starboard stern of (Vessel 1) to the starboard stern of (Vessel 2). 
  
  (Vessel 1) did not stop and continued into the inlet after the collision. (Vessel 1) was then stopped by New Hanover County Sheriffs'' Office Patrol Boat. I was then notified of the incident and responded from Motts Channel to the Wrightsville Beach Coast Guard Station where both (Vessel 1) and (Vessel 2) were located. 
  
  Operator1 was then given Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Operator1 was then arrested and charged with Operating While Impaired, Careless Operation, and Failure to give Information to other Vessel involved in the Occurrence. 
  
  As a result of the collision, (Vessel 2) suffered busted fiberglass damage to the starboard stern while (Vessel 1) suffered no damages.
