RedactedNarrative: V1 struck a private navigation aid (Green 11) in Estero Bay.
  OP1 and her friend were on the above PWC, on a guided tour. The guide,  was operating a different PWC ahead of OP1. The tour passed port-to-port with another vessel in the channel. OP1 became nervous and let off the throttle of the PWC while trying to turn away from the marker. OP1 struck the marker head on, causing damage to the plastic nose of the PWC and fiberglass damage just below the plastic trim of the nose. Also damaged was the private navigation aid. The collision broke the wood marker and it had to be towed back to the marina and safely tied up.
