RedactedNarrative: VESSEL 2 COLLIDED WITH VESSEL 1 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN AROUND IN A MARINA BASIN AT JENSON'S MARINA. VESSEL 2 DAMAGED THE MOTOR COWLING AND MIDSECTION.  V-1 was departing from the Jensen’s Marina docks from a moored position.  V-1 operator stated that the vessel had been moored with bow inward in the outboard slip at the southern end of the first T-dock closest to shore.  V-2 was moored starboard side to the dock on the outside of the same T-dock immediately adjacent to V-1 (see accident diagram).  It was reported that there were no occupants aboard V-2 at time of collision. 
   
  V-1 operator stated that he backed vessel out of slip (see "A" in accident diagram) in a northerly direction.  The operator further stated that as he attempted to maneuver vessel in a forward motion, the force of the prevailing easterly winds pushed V-1 into the stern area of V-2, with the starboard quarter of V-1 contacting the starboard outboard engine cowling of V-2 (see "B" in accident diagram).  The vessel was traveling at approximately clutch (idle) speed at the time of impact.  Following impact, the occupants of V-1 attempted to fend off from V-2 while the operator of V-1 continued to steer the vessel on a southerly course away from marina docks.    
  
  Upon V-1’s departure from the scene, an employee of the marina reportedly made contact with the operator and informed him of the need to return to the marina in order for the collision to be properly reported to law enforcement.  The operator of V-1 complied with the request.
