  Operator #1 was disoriented upon impact with the Shark River Inlet North Jetty and did not make an initial statement. He was transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center, treated and released. A telephonic conversation would take place on 05/27/2018 when Operator #1 stated to the effect, "I was off shore trolling heading towards the inlet. I was following the GPS, but the marker must be off course. I came in tight to the north jetty, hit a rock, and propelled onto the jetty".
  
  Investigation Revealed:
  
  Operator #1 was operating Vessel #1 in a south west direction in the Atlantic Ocean, heading towards the mouth of the Shark River Inlet, Avon By The Sea Boro, Monmouth County. While navigating around the Inlet, Operator #1 struck the North Jetty of the Shark River Inlet, propelled V#1, and came to a final rest on top of the jetty. Vessel #1 sustained several gouges throughout the hull, a major one in the area of the keel amidships. Sea Tow Manasquan would remove the vessel, tow it to Sea Port Inlet Marina in Belmar. V#1 was placed on a trailer, and secured at Sea Tow Manasquan Yard, Lavallette, NJ. Operator #1 sustained minor injuries due to the impact with the jetty. Avon By The Sea Police made initial contact with Operator #1. 
  
  An odor of an alcoholic beverage was emitting from Operator #1. Operator #1 stated that he had a few beers with dinner earlier that night. Due to the impact of the crash, injuries sustained, and presence of an alcoholic beverage, Operator #1 was transported via Neptune Twp EMS, with Ptlm. on board, to Jersey Shore Medical Center. At the hospital, Operator #1 consented to the taking of blood samples for purposes of testing. He would be treated and released. (See Avon By The Sea PD report # 18AV01795)
  
  Based on Operator #1's statement and damage to the V#1, it was determined that due to darkness Operator #1 failed to maintain a proper look-out to avoid the risk of a collision, Rule 5 USCG Navigational Rules of the Road, as well proceeding at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision, Rule 6 USCG Navigational Rules of the Road, subsequently striking the jetty.
