RedactedNarrative: On 5/25/14 at approximately 11:15am, there was a boating accident on the cape fear river near bald head island. Operator2 was anchored near the rocks at the entrance of bald head island marina when the accident occurred. Fishing with Operator2 was V2 occupant1 and his 7 year old son, V2 occupant2. Operator2 advised he noticed the bald head ferry patriot coming toward the entrance at a high rate of speed. He advised that he yelled to V2 occupant1 to grab his son and hold on due to the wake traveling behind the patriot. When the wake struck the 24' center console, all three subjects were thrown to the floor of the vessel. V2 occupant1 was holding his son by the back of the pfd. The force from the wake caused the pfd to be ripped off the child. The second wake hit the vessel throwing all three subjects to the floor again and filling the inside of the vessel with salt water. The wake from the patriot beached the 24' boat. Several subjects came running down the beach to help push the vessel back into the water. Operator2 was able to idle the vessel into bald head marina where two employees of the marina ran down with two water pumps and pumped all the water out of Operator2's vessel. Operator1 was the captain of the patriot and advised that he didn't see the anchored vessel outside the entrance. Operator1 advised that he would have slowed down if he had seen the anchored vessel. Operator1 then advised me that he saw the white radio cord hanging from vessel2’s radio box and that Operator2 should have called him to ask for a courtesy slow down. V2 occupant2 was taken to the hospital due to a knot and several scratches on his head due to being thrown to the floor of the vessel.
