RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was in Little Dauphin Island Bay traveling southeast, outside of the No Wake / Idle Speed Zone, when the operator realized he passed the canal that leads to his island residence. 
  
  The operator then began a wide turn to starboard, while still on plane, to correct his initial navigational error.  
  
  The operator of Vessel 1 failed to see that he entered the No Wake / Idle Speed Zone, that is near to the shore, until he nearly struck the piling with the restrictive sign.  
  
  Once Vessel 1 passed the sign, the operator was unable to correct this navigational error and struck the rock bulkhead at the Alabama Marine Resources office. 
  
  Vessel 1 became grounded and was unable to continue with its voyage.  As a result of the impact with the rock bulkhead, Vessel 1 incurred more than $2000 in damages.
