RedactedNarrative: On 8-28-14 EPO’s responded to a boating accident that occurred in the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Conditions were choppy seas and a NNW wind was gusting (18mph). Upon arrival on scene officers learned from USCG that SeaSafe was in the process of pulling the vessel from the rock it had struck. Once the vessel was in tow, EPO boarded it and spoke with the owner/operator who stated that when he un-tied his boat from the mooring ball winds picked up immediately and began pushing his boat toward a large rock. His port engine died and the boat moved closer to the rock. When the engine finally re-started one of the boat’s lines got wrapped around the port propeller so he shut the engines down. The Boat then collided into the rock damaging the port side above the waterline, including damage to the metal railing and forward deck. Operator sustained cuts to his hand but refused any medical treatment. There was approximately $2000 damage to his boat.
