RedactedNarrative: On September 25, 2016, a boating accident occurred in the late evening involving one vessel. There was one person on board and no injuries were reported. On the following day, the vessel operator called FWC dispatch to report the accident. At this time a boating accident investigation will be conducted.
  
  Subject1 told me after the incident he trailered his vessel back to his residence. I asked the complainant if there were any injuries and he said no. He said his dog was ejected from the vessel after impact but was later found alive swimming in the water. He also said he struck the side of a channel marker while traveling North on the ICW near the northern end of Munyon Island. He was unable to give the channel marker number but said it was near the Parker Bridge just North of Munyon Island
  
  	I met Subject1 at his residence, I observed a 17 ft. Mako, off white in color, baring FLorida registration FL 9588 HH and hull identification number  MRK0095GB596, sitting on a trailer. The vessel was damaged from the portside mid bow to the stern. Upon further observation I saw the fiberglass, gunwale and the rub rail on the port side were all damaged. The fiberglass was splintered and bowing a few inches up from the rub rail. Multiple photographs of the damaged vessel were taken.
  
  	Subject1 said at approximately 11:00 p.m., he believes he was traveling around 20 miles an hour at the time he struck the channel marker. He said he didn't see the channel marker because it wasn't blinking like some of the other markers were (the marker which is believed to be the one he struck is not a lighted nav aid. He also said he attempted to avoid collision by turning sharply to the right.  After collision, Subject1 looked for his dog. When a good Samaritan found the dog, Subject1 was able to operate the vessel back to the dock and trailer the vessel home.
