RedactedNarrative: On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, at approximately 1300 hours, Vessel 1 (V1) a 10-foot Yamaha Personal Watercraft was approximately 300 yards offshore on the oceanside of Tea Table Relief. According to witness statements, V1 was driving approximately 45 miles per hour, following a jet ski tour in a marked channel. The operator of V1 stated that he was on track for a head on collision with a pole marker. He stated that he “cut the gas and turned the wheel left”. He stated that he hesitated and slammed into the pole before he could react. At the time of the collision, the operator of V1 stated that he was going approximately 30 miles per hour. 
  
  The livery operator showed me the personal watercrafts involved in the accident. While on scene, I obtained photographs of the damage to V1. V1 had compression damage in the fiberglass across the port side bow measuring at approximately 12 inches in length and 12 inches in width. The black plastic protective covering on the bow of V1 was missing and obviously broken off at the impacted area. The green channel marker 1 was completely knocked over, with only the green reflective face of the marker protruding out of the water.
