RedactedNarrative: On Sunday July 14, 2015 at approximately 1430 hours V-1 was traveling southwest out of the Panama City Pass.  The operator was not paying attention and struck the #10 channel marker buoy.  The collision ripped a 12 X 12 hole in the starboard side of V-1 near midship.  Immediately after impact V-1 started taking on water.  The operator turned on the bilge pump and headed to shore.  A good Samaritan helped the operator and occupants to the beach on Shell Island before V-1 filled with water.  No one was injured in the accident.  Sea Two was able to float the vessel by pumping the water out and towed it to the Panama City Marina where it was removed from the water.  I issued the operator of V-1 a written warning for careless operation of a vessel.
