OPERATOR 1 WAS NAVIGATING BY INTERMITENTLY CHECKING HIS NAVIGATION CHART ON HIS GRAPH. OPERATOR 1 FAILED TO OBSERVE VESSEL 2 IN THE CHANNEL AHEAD OF HIM AND OPERATOR 2 STEERED HIS BOAT TO THE RIGHT IN ATTEMPT TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE PORT SIDE OF VESSEL 1 STRUCK THE PORT SIDE OF VESSEL 2 AT A SLIGHT ANGLE, CAUSING VESSEL 2 TO ROTATE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE AND STRIKE THE PORT SIDE OF VESSEL 1 WITH THE STARBOARD SIDE.
