  According to Law Enforcement, on this date and time the Operator of V1, Operator1, was driving his rental PWC eastbound, away from shore.  The Operator of V2, Operator2, was driving his rental PWC westbound towards shore, both outside the no-wake zone in front of Vasa Park Resort.
  
  The operator of V1, Operator1, told officers that he was trying to steer past V2 and leave it to starboard, but waves kept pushing his vessel to the right.  
  
  The operator of V2, Operator2, reported that he saw V1 coming towards him.  He cut the throttle and attempted to turn to port to avoid the collision.  Operator2 thought that V1 accelerated and turned to starboard to try to avoid collision.
