RedactedNarrative: Synopsis:
  
  I investigated and did a boat incident report for a houseboat that struck another houseboat in the Bullfrog Buoy Field, and caused damage to a ski boat as well. There were no injuries, and there was damage to all 3 vessels involved. No operators for any of the vessels. Report was filed. 
  
  Initial Report:
  
  At approximately 09:00 am on Saturday, June 30th, 2022 in Bullfrog, I (Ranger 1) spoke with an individual at the North Ramp Courtesy Dock in Bullfrog. I was there for an unrelated boat contact. V2 Passenger 2 mentioned to me an incident involving their houseboat in the buoy field, on 06.26.2022. V2 Passenger 2 stated the Houseboat V1 and its Buoy (350 at the time) broke free and caused damage to the her Houseboat, V2. V2 Passenger 2 stated she had reported the incident to NPS Dispatch. I stated that from the damage/her descriptions, it would likely be a boat incident report and that I would be able to complete it. I offered to meet them the next morning (07/01/2022) at their houseboat and gather additional information regarding the incident. I had also requested that V2 Passenger 2 let the individuals on the V1 know, and that I would speak with them too. V2 Passenger 2 agreed to do so. 
  
  Initial Call: 
  
  I contacted NPS Dispatch and they confirmed that the reporting party (V2 Passenger 2) had contacted their office the night of 06.26.2022 (at approximately 20:38). NPS Dispatch provided me the CAD Notes of the incident. CAD Notes stated "Rp in BH "V2", attached to buoy, another houseboat has broken free and is hitting rps hb. Other HB is possible V1, rps hb is on top of the other HBs buoy". CAD Notes stated Aramark manager was texted. I notified NPS Dispatch that I would take this boat incident report/investigate. 
  
  Contact/Interviews (V2):
  
  I arrived at the new buoy that the V2 was moved to, at approximately 11:05 am, Sunday, 07/01/2022. V2 Passenger 2 and V2 Passenger 1 are part owners of the V2 (8 owners).
  
  V2 Passenger 2 stated the V1 was loose in the buoy field the evening of 06.26.2022 and struck the V2. The V1 was still attached to its buoy when it struck the V2 and the V2 Passenger 2'S ski boat (Vessel 3). The V1 struck both vessels at the same time. V2 Passengers 1 & 2 tried to keep the vessels apart, but damage was caused to both vessels (Vessel 2 and Vessel 3). V2 Passenger 1 was able to secure the V1 (and it's buoy) to the V2 on the rear port cleat, to prevent further damage. It stayed that way through the night.  V2 Passenger 2 had contacted NPS Dispatch and Aramark Exec. Services.  Aramark Exec. Services responded the next morning, Monday 06.27 and moved the V1 off of the V2. V2 Passenger 2 said Captain responded, and took pictures, etc. It appeared to be an issue with the buoy grid/buoy cables. In V2 Passenger 2's notes she stated Captain would file an Aramark Incident Report. V2 Passenger 2's notes also indicate other houseboats were striking each other and Aramark Exec. Services had moved one those vessels (Lake Pals). Captain moved the V1 off of the V2 and to another buoy. The V2 was also moved to a new "temporary" buoy. 
  
  All damage to vessels is detailed in the boat incident report. V2 Passengers 1 & 2 both filled out witness statements (attached to this report) and provided additional information. V2 Passengers 1 & 2 were the only individuals on the V2 at the time of the incident. The V2 was not being operated and it was attached to its buoy. There was no one board Vessel 1 or Vessel 3 (ski boat) either. No heavy weather conditions at the time (confirmed by V2 Passenger 2). V2 Passenger 2 stated in her notes provided to me:
