I was greeted by the owner of the vessel that was struck. V1 owner Showed me the damage of his vessel. Most of the damage was taken on the Port side fiberglass surrounding the window, estimated to be around six thousand dollars in repair.

V1 owner stated that the shrimp boat was leaving the dock with an incoming tide. 
  
  The shrimp boat Cpt. Was unfamiliar with the sand bar east of the fish docks. As the shrimp boat turned out into Blackbeard Creek, the tide pushed the stern of the shrimping vessel onto the sand bar; causing the Cpt. to lose control. The tide gradually caused the shrimping vessel to make impact with its bow on v1 vessel’s port side. There were no individuals occupying v1 vessel at the time of impact.
