         On this date, I was detailed to the above location in reference to a vessel accident involving two parties.  Upon arrival I observed Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 docked at the 2 Mile Landing Marina at the end of "B" dock.  Vessel 1 had apparently impacted the rear of Vessel 2 while it was docked and unoccupied.
  
  
  Operator 1 Stated in Effect: I was moving forward slowly and looking at the boats in the marina.  When I looked back I didn't realize how close I was to the other boat.  I tried to reverse, but was unable to stop in time and hit the back of the other boat.
  
  Investigation Revealed:  Vessel 1 was traveling Northbound in the Lower Thorofare at a slow rate of speed.  Operator 1 became distracted while looking at other vessels in the marina and did not realize how close he was to Vessel 2.  As Operator 1 realized he was going to impact Vessel 2 he attempted to reverse Vessel 1, however was unable to do so and impacted the rear of Vessel 2.  The bow of Vessel 1 struck the Starboard outboard engine of Vessel 2 causing moderate damage to the lower and upper cowling of the engine.  Vessel 1 did not sustain any visible damage.  There were no injuries reported and both vessels were driven from the scene.
