RedactedNarrative: Operator of vessel #1 (V1) stated in effect: I was in a slip near the inlet of the marina, the line that secured my boat broke. The representative of the marina told me to move my boat to the back, I was not sure where. I headed toward the back of the marina when I saw an open slip (next to V2). I backed up and stopped to try to park in the slip. The wind pushed my boat into the outboard motors of the other boat. The side of my boat rubbed against the other boat. I attempted to steer away from the other boat and as a result the back of my boat bumped the other boat again. (Operator of V1 stated he had his navigation lights on).
  
  Witness (owner of vessel #2 - V2) stated in effect: I was standing on the bulkhead/dock in front of my boat when I saw this other boat go by heading in towards the back of the marina. Then the boat backed up all the way from the back of the marina and stopped behind my boat. The other boat drifted into the outboard motors of my boat. He proceeded to gun his engine and hit my boat again. He didn't look like he had his navigation lights on, he was just holding a flash light in his hand. My outboard motors are out of alignment and the steering isn't working now.
  
  Investigation revealed: V1 was underway, but not making way behind V2, which was secured in its slip unoccupied with its bow facing in towards the bulkhead at Leonardo State Marina in Middletown Township, Monmouth County. Due to high wind conditions, V1 drifted sideways into the stern of V2. V1's starboard side collided with the outboard motors on V2. The operator of V1 then attempted to steer away from V2 by applying power, which caused V1's stern starboard corner to collide with V2's outboard motors again. V1 sustained scratches to its starboard side and stern starboard corner. V2 sustained damage to its outboard motors (3) and steering system. No injuries were report
