RedactedNarrative: On June 30th, 2020, I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on duty and in uniform conducting Water patrol in the Western Sambos Ecological Preserve, Monroe County, State of Florida. At approximately 1830hrs, I was dispatched to Stock Island Marina Village for a boating accident with vessel damage.
  
  The vessel "It's About Time" struck the vessel "Second Wind" while attempting to dock at Stock Island Marina Village. The incident resulted in deep fiberglass damage from the swim platform of the vessel "It's About Time".   
  
  Subject advised that his vessel had been struck by a vessel that was docking named “Its About Time”. The vessel was located in the slip next to him at D18. Subject1 completed a sworn written statement reflecting the following: 
  
  The vessel “It’s About Time” came in to dock at slip D18. He was inside his vessel and noticed that the operators of that vessel were having trouble gaining control of it. Subject1 observed a woman at the helm on the bridge and a man at the stern controls and it appeared each operator was attempting to make corrections to gain control of the vessel. 
  
  During this event, he grabbed a bumper from his vessel and attempted to fend off  “Its About”, however the vessel struck his Starboard Bow with its swim platform causing a very large hole. Subject1 advised that he took photos and immediately covered the hole with white flex tape to protect his vessel. The photos Subject1 provided are attached to this report and reflect what I observed on scene. 
  
  I made contact with the operators of the ‘It’s About Time” and identified them as husband and wife. both stated that while trying to dock they were trying to communicate with each other through headsets and having trouble backing into their slip. Operator1 stated that he was trying to take control of the vessel, but it appeared that his wife was also attempting to operate the vessel from her helm topside. Essentially, both were fighting for control of the vessel.
