RedactedNarrative: On 07/30/17, at approximately 5:30 PM, Vessel 1 picked up a fender that had fallen off of Vessel 2.  As both vessels entered the No Wake Zone, Vessel 1 honked their horn and got the attention of Vessel 2.  Vessel  2 turned to port and looped back to pick up the fender.  At this time, Vessel 1 put their boat in neutral and waited for Vessel 2 to approach.  As Vessel 2 approached, Operator2 left the helm and walked to the front of his boat.  A few moments later, Vessel 2 impacted Vessel 1 causing damage to the deck edge and the aluminum skin on the rear port side of Vessel 1.  Based on the damage to Vessel 2, it appears the port side pontoon struck the deck of vessel 1, and the eyelet on the from tore the aluminum skin.  No injuries were reported.  Operator1 stated she called LaSalle County in order to contact Conservation Police, but was told she needed to call them herself.  She was unable to make contact with a CPO until Monday afternoon. Operator1 was able to obtain Operator2''s insurance information on scene.
