RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated in effect: I was on my way home when I had an emergency and had to use the bathroom. I thought I put my boat in neutral, and entered the cabin. While in the bathroom I heard a crash. I exited the cabin and my boat was against a piling. At the time I was unaware I struck a boat and I called the owner of the marina to report the damage I caused to his piling. See attached NJSP Voluntary Statement.
  
  Investigation revealed: Operator #1 was traveling southbound on Branchport Creek in Oceanport Borough, Monmouth County. Operator #1 failed to provide proper lookout and maintain control of his vessel when he left the helm and entered the cabin. Vessel #1 continued making way southbound on Branchport Creek and veered starboard into Pleasure Bay Yacht Basin. Subsequently, Vessel #1 struck Vessel #2, a 2001 44' Carver Cockpit Motor Yacht (Docked and unoccupied) off its port beam, continued down the port side towards the stern of Vessel #2 , and coming to final rest striking a piling. Vessel #1 sustained minor damage to its bow pulpit and its anchor. Vessel #2 sustained moderate damage throughout its port side, specifically between midships and its stern. There were no injuries reported as a result of the crash.
  
  Operator #1 removed the vessel from the scene and docked it behind his residence prior to our arrival. Vessel #2 remained in its slip and was not moved.
  
  Operator #1 was issued summons for 12:7-76(a) Careless Driving.
