RedactedNarrative: At or around 5:00pm on october 5, 2014, vessel two was adrift in the morehead city waterfront area with an overheated engine. The current was unusually strong that day due to there being a full moon. The tide was incoming pushing vessel two from east to west and in the direction of several large charter boats. The operator and passengers of vessel two flagged down the passing vessel one and asked for assistance. Vessel one's operator was concerned with the safety of the passengers of vessel two. His thought was as strong as the current was that day that it might force vessel two under water if caught under the bow of the larger boats. Therefore, he rendered assistance. They tied vessel one's bow line to the starboard rear cleat of vessel two. After straightening it out, it appeared as if the wind may push the boat over to captain bill's restaurant so they disconnected the two boats. It became evident shortly after that, the boats were on a direct collision course with the boats at the olympus dive center. Operator1 re-approached vessel two and his port stern line was attached to vessel two's starboard front cleat. Vessel one immediately began to back in reverse turning vessel two around and bow out. When the two boats got perpendicular to the current, there was nothing they could do. They were too close and moving too fast to have enough time to get out of the situation. Vessel one's reaction was to pull them out from the bow of the docked boats. While trying to do this, vessel two's port bow corner hit the port bow of vessel three causing a dent in the aluminum hull.
