RedactedNarrative: On July 27, 2019, Operator stated he was traveling west out of Harmon Creek on Lake Cumberland near the south shoreline operating Vessel 1, a 2002 Black Thunder closed bow vessel, documentation number (1132359) when collided with the shoreline. According to the Operator, he started to steer left around the point toward the mouth of Harmon Creek when he encountered a smaller vessel. According to the operators on both vessels, they were in a head-on collision course. To prevent collision both took evasive action passing port to port. The operator of Vessel 1 stated he steered his vessel hard left across the path of the other vessel and failed to regain control of his vessel. This was likely due to the excessive speed in which Operator was traveling. As a result Vessel 1 impacted the shoreline on the port side of the vessel. No injuries were reported on Vessel 1. No property damage or injuries were reported by the other vessel involved.
  
  After speaking with other witness and through further investigation, it was clear that Vessel 1 operated by Operator was operating on the left side of the lake channel, he failed to keep right of mid channel while approaching the point on the wrong side of the creek channel. In doing so, he created a dangerous situation with the other vessel.
