RedactedNarrative: On June 11, 2018 at approximately 11:30 am, vessel 1 named Just Us collided with the shore and took on water and sank.  At the time of the incident, vessel 1 was occupied by two people.  According to the vessel operator, the vessel seemed to lose steering control and made a turn to the right colliding with the rocks in Adams Creek.  When vessel 1 struck the rocks, it caused the vessel's starboard stern to tilt causing water to start entering from the current in the Icw.  The water flow came in quick.  Vessel 1 then broke free from the shore and spun in the current until it finally took on so much water that it sank.  Vessel 1 came to rest on the opposite side of the ICW up against a dock. The operator and passenger abandoned ship with life jackets on and swam to shore.  EMS checked out both the operator and passenger and were found to be ok.
  
  After interviewing the operator and passenger, it was made known that the steering was the cause.  I asked the passenger and operator what had caused the incident.  According to the passenger, the operator had placed the vessel on auto pilot.  When he tried to make a turn from hitting the rocks, the operator could not control the vessel.  The vessel was raised by Sea Tow and taken to Jarrett Bay boat works.
