RedactedNarrative: Witness #1 Stated:  
       I was anchored in front of Barnes Brother's Marine fishing when a boat from the rowing team crashed into my boat.  I tried to push them away with my foot but they still hit me.
  
  Operator #2 Stated: 
       We were going forward and the boat blended in with the background. I did not see it. 
  
  Investigation Revealed:
       Vessel #1 was anchored on Lake Hopatcong, approximately 150 yards away from Barnes Brother's Marine located in Mount Arlington.  Members of the Mountain Lakes Rowing Team were heading south while rowing Vessel #2 on Lake Hopatcong.  The Coxswain of Vessel #2, who is responsible for the navigation of the vessel, failed to observe Vessel #1 which was anchored.  Vessel #2 then struck Vessel #1.  Vessel #1 sustained damage to the engine cover (Gouges and scratches), starboard pontoon (Crease in aluminum), and the starboard rail (Bent).  Vessel #2 sustained damage to the bow (Cracks, scratches), and an oar (Broken in half).
