RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was coming around Sheep Island into the east end of Deer isle Thorofare where there are two entrances separated by ledges and Islands.  The operator of vessel 1,  misread the navigation aids, and was also distracted from reading the vessel plotter when preparing the sail to come about / make a turn hard to Port.  It was during this time, when the operator of vessel 1 was preparing to turn, that  vessel 1  struck the eastern edge of Bold Island Ledge.  As the tide was dropping, the three vessel occupants abandoned ship with the assistance of a local fisherman.  As Vessel 1 laid on Bold Island Ledge, waves turned the vessel and proceeded to swamp it until Billings Marine was able to pull it off the ledge at high tide.
