RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 (V1) – 1978, 36’ Magellan Auxiliary Sailboat w/1 Diesel Inboard Engine – HP Unknown
  Vessel #2 (V2) – 1977, 38’ Ingrid Auxiliary Sailboat w/1 Diesel Inboard Engine – HP Unknown
  
  On 10/05/2017, at about 06:00 p.m., these two vessels were in the Duwamish River at the South Park Marina, located near Seattle, WA in King county.  
  
  According to Law Enforcement, on this date and time the Operator of V1, Operator1, was moving his vessel from the transient dock at South Park Marina to a different slip space, as directed by the Harbormaster.  He had a friend on board who had never been on a sailboat before but was helping him move the boat.  Both Operator1 and occupant had consumed unknown amounts of alcohol.  
  
  The Harbormaster reported that he saw V1 operating in reverse at 5-6 knots, past his boat, downstream with the current, and towards the mandated slip space.  He turned around then heard a “crunch”.  
  
  Operator1 told officers that this boat was heavier than his other vessels, and that the weight, current and wind had caused the boat to move too quickly towards another boat on the dock (V2).  He tried to cushion the blow by using his left foot to fend off, but his left foot was smashed between the two boats, causing significant damage.
  
  Operator1 was driven to the hospital.  He ended up having 4 toes amputated from his left foot.
