RedactedNarrative: On Thursday July 21, 2022 Park Officer 2 notified me of a late reported boat accident at North Shore Marina. I contacted Operator who is the owner of F/V. Operator stated that on Wednesday July 20, 2022 he was inbound Indian River Inlet on his vessel from a recreational not for hire fishing trip with only one motor. The starboard motor was not operational and Operator attempted to dock his vessel at slip, however was unsuccessful. Operator operated his vessel to the end of A dock to secure his vessel there. During his attempt to dock the vessel, the bow thruster also burned out. Operator stated that the wind was very strong, and he was having difficulty docking his vessel with only one motor and no bow thrusters. Operator stated that the wind took control over his vessel, which caused him to strike the dock. Operator stated that there was no damage to his vessel but was unsure if there was dock damage. Operator stated his vessel was still at the end of A dock and his mechanic would be arriving Friday morning at 0800 to fix the mechanical issues and then would be moving his vessel back to slip.
  
  While enroute to North Shore Marina, Officer 2 sent me pictures of the vessel and dock. I contacted the parks marina office and asked to speak with maintenance who assessed the damage. I spoke with a maintenance employee who stated there was damage to a piece of wood, damage to one pontoon under the dock and a second pontoon was moved out of place due to the impact. I arrived at the Inlet and walked to the end of A dock. A park employee, Park Employee 1, showed me visible damage to the dock and damage to an electrical pedestal. Park Employee 1 stated the pedestal was damaged occurred on Thursday and not Wednesday. The boat was making contact to the pedestal while it was tied up, so the park employees moved the docked vessel further back to prevent more damage to the pedestal. 
  
  I met with Operator on Friday July 22, 2022 his vessel at the end of A dock at 0900. I collected vessel information from him and he stated that he would pay for any damage that was done and would most likely use insurance. I contacted Park Employee 2 from the park staff and asked her to contact me when she had quote for the damage. Park Employee 2 stated that Tow Boat would be coming to life the dock with a crane and that alone cost $2,500. I informed Operator of this and for purposes of this report estimated cost of damage will be $3,500. I then reviewed the footage from parks security system and downloaded footage of the incident at the end of A dock on a flash drive.
