RedactedNarrative: On May 6th 2019, Operator2 called GA DNR LE office to report a hit and run boat accident. A white house boat made contact with her white pontoon boat inside the wake barrier at Victoria Marina. She talked to Cpl.  in regards to the initial accident. She told Cpl. on Saturday, May 5th 2019, a white house boat was uniting his vessel to leave Victoria Marina. He united the boat and proceeded to take off, at that time the wind pushed the white house boat backwards towards other vessels. The house boat hit Operator2 pontoon boat shortly after the house boat untied from the dock. Operator2 said that the driver did not stop driving after he hit her vessel. 
  
  Operator2 said the only way she would have known about it is if people did not tell her that someone hit her vessel. The other witnesses said they knew who he was and gave her the description of the boat and Operator1’s number. She then proceeded to get on to her pontoon boat and drive out to him, eventually meeting him around Harbor Town Marina. She said she told him that he hit her vessel and he was responsible for fixing it.  Operator1 said he would pay for it. 
  
  Cpl. asked Operator2 for photos of the accident to be emailed to him so we could do a report.  She forwarded multiple photos to Cpl. and me showing the damage to her vessel and photos of the vessel that performed the “hit and run.”  The following line is the contents for one of the email correspondence. 
  
  [These are the pictures that the two witnesses took and pictures that I took of the damage of my boat… I talk to my mechanic today and he said it’s going to be $250 just to write up an estimate on the damages… He also said that that whole panel will have to be removed it cannot be fixed and then the whole boat would probably have to be repainted just to make it match… I was wondering if you got in touch with operator1 because I think he needs to pay for the $250 estimate.] 
  
  On Sunday, June 2nd 2019, Cpl. and I went to Harbor Town Marina to talk to the house boat operator, Operator1, about the incident. We found the vessel from the photos Operator2 sent us, and proceeded to the vessel to perform a marine toilet inspection and to discuss the circumstances behind the accident. 
  
  Upon finding the vessel, we pulled next to the slip and talked to Operator1’s daughters that were on board. They asked us if we were here about the pontoon boat accident. I told them yes and to perform a marine toilet inspection. We started with the marine toilet inspection and found they were not keeping a pump out log and advised them that they needed to have a physical copy of one onboard the vessel. We then talked to the two individuals about the accident, they said as they were pulling out of the marina the wind started to blow very strong pushing them backwards. 
  
  They said their father, Operator1, did all he could to avoid hitting any boats and docks. They said he did not want to stop the vessel, since they would have hit multiple boat inside the marina. The two individuals said they did not know they made contact with any vessel until the owner of the pontoon boat came over to them and told them. They said their dad told Operator2 that he would fix their boat and he was sorry but if he stopped they would have it many more boats due to the side of the house boat. I gave Operator1’s daughters my work cell phone and personal cell phone number on my business card and told them to have him call me so I can talk to him.
   
  After six plus times calling Operator1, he finally called me back on June 10th 2019. I told him I would like to meet him so I can get his side of the story. I met Operator1 at Home Depot in Canton and asked him what transpired that day. Operator1 said “what happened is what she said.” I told him to give me his side of the story. He told me that his two daughters and he went to dinner on the lake and when they were trying to leave Victoria Marina the wind p
