RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated, in effect, that he was traveling west, at approximately 30 miles per hour.  He was seated at the helm.  The windshield was fogged up and had sea-spray on it, and bright lights from businesses on shore made it difficult to see the buoy.  Upon impact, he bumped his right knee somewhere on the boat and experienced minor swelling and pain.
  His passenger fell out of the seat, but was not injured.  
  
  Investigation revealed that Vessel #1 was traveling westbound on the Raritan River.  Operator #1 failed to maintain a proper lookout and struck a channel marker/aid to navigation, specifically USCG Buoy #11, on the Raritan River.  Upon inspection, it is noted that there is no significant damage to the buoy other than paint transfer.
  Vessel #1 sustained damage to the starboard bow hull.  
  
  Operator #1 sustained minor injury to the right knee.  No further injuries reported.
