RedactedNarrative: On May 7, 2019, at approximately 1420 hours, a single vessel accident occurred in the Atlantic Ocean from the shore of St. Johns County.  (V1) a 20’ fiberglass hull center console powered by a single 150hp engine, bearing Florida registration numbers FL. 8155 DJ. V1 was occupied by two adults, operator/owner, and passenger. V1 was anchored at Andy King Reef (N29.52’5914/W81.09’2067) in federal waters. Weather conditions were clear with 10 to 15mph winds out of the east with one to two-foot seas with the occasional three-foot wave.
  While anchored, Passenger had gone for a swim and decided to sit on the port gunnel before fully returning into V1. While Passenger was sitting on the port gunnel a wave struck V1 causing V1 to list abruptly and forcing Passenger to fall out of V1. Passenger’s upper left inner thigh was impaled by the stainless-steel boat cleat that she had been sitting by on the port side gunnel. Passenger’s thigh was stuck on the boat cleat while the upper half of her body was dangling in the water unable to get back in V1. Subject quickly grabbed Passenger and lifted her back into V1. Once back in V1 Passenger had a large laceration on her left thigh. Subject cut the anchor line and returned to Vilano Boat Ramp in St. Johns County to seek medical attention. 
  Once at Vilano Boat Ramp Passenger was transported to Flagler Hospital, St. Augustine by St. Johns Fire Recue. Passenger underwent surgery for the laceration to her left inner thigh. This concludes my involvement in the matter.
