RedactedNarrative: Based on evidence collected and interviews conducted, the following was determined:
  
  	On February 21, 2022, at approximately 8:30AM, operator1 was operating a vessel (FL8665SZ) northbound on the St. Johns River just south of Lake Harney, while operator2 was operating a vessel (FL6314GN) southbound on the St. Johns River, coming from Lake Harney. 
  
  	Operator1 had one occupant onboard V1 with him, his 14-year-old grandson.  Operator1 explained to me that he was operating V1 at approximately 20mph northbound on the St. Johns River towards Lake Harney.  Operator1 stated that while going around the curve just east of Cow Island, he saw a vessel, V2, on the east side of the river, heading south directly towards him, while another vessel was beside V2, who appeared to be racing him.  
  
  
  Operator1 stated that he had to turn to the starboard side to attempt to avoid a head on collision with V2, and while his vessel came off plane, the port side bow of V1 came down on port side stern of V2.  Operator1 stated that Operator2 said “I thought you’d of split us” as in going between V2 and the vessel he appeared to be racing.  Operator1 stated that he asked Operator2 for his license and insurance information, but Operator2 ignored him and stuck out his tongue at him.  The operator of the other vessel that appeared to be racing with V2, told Operator2 where the registration was, to give to Operator1.  Operator1 took photographs of the scene for documentation and gave Operator2 his license and registration to document as well.  
  
  
  END OF REPORT.
