RedactedNarrative: On 07-05-2015, at approximately 4:15 p.m. a 22' Regal, LA8491FP(Vessel #1) operated 2 passengers on board, was east bound in Lake Pontchartrain as it passed under the Hwy 11 bridge and lost power. At this time, a 20 SeaPro, LA 6259 GC(Vessel #2) was passing by and noticed that Vessel #1 needed assistance. The operator of Vessel #2 immediately went to the disabled boat and he and his 2 passengers quickly tried to attach a tow line to the disabled boat since severe weather was rapidly approaching but was unable to. 
   
  At this time, Operator2 (Vessel 2) noticed that both vessels were getting dangerously close to the bridge due to strong winds and current and decided to get the occupants off of the disabled vessel, however the owner/operator of Vessel#1 did not want to leave his vessel. The other occupants safely transferred onto Vessel#2 but in the course of doing so, Vessel #1 caused damage to Vessel #2, namely to the cowling and fiberglass damage near the starboard bow. 
   
  The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's water patrol was soon on scene and was able to get a tow line on the disabled vessel, but not before received damage from continuous contact from the bridge. Damage consisted of broken windshield glass and damage to the fiberglass along the starboard side. 
   
  Both vessels had proper PFD's. No drugs or alcohol was involved in this incident Remote steering on both vessels. Rough seas and strong current, combined with the vessel losing power, contributed to this incident.
