RedactedNarrative: Investigation Revealed:  Vessel #1 was underway, cruising south in the Barnegat Bay in the area just to the south of the, Basacule Bridge, Mantoloking Boro, Ocean County, NJ.  Vessel #1 was on a steady course heading south when due to Vessel Operator #1 failing to maintain a proper lookout (Rule #5 of the Navigational Rules of inland waters) and struck ICW Marker #13 with it's port side.   As a result of the impact, both occupants had been ejected from the vessel and the vessel continued on unmanned. Vessel #1 continued making way westbound until running aground approximately 50 ft. into the marsh in Brick Twp., NJ. The operator and occupant were medically evaluated by Point Pleasant Beach First Aid.  The occupants refused further medical treatment on scene.  The owner of the vessel made arrangements with Tow Boat U.S. to have the vessel removed to their facilities during daylight hours.  A visual inspection of Vessel #1 revealed extensive damage to the vessel's port side gunwale. I then met with the operator of the vessel and directed him to perform standardized field sobriety tests to ensure that he was not under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The operator of the vessel was not and successfully passed all tests.
