  On 07/25/2019, at about 03:30 p.m., these two vessels were cruising on Puget Sound between Hat Island and Camano Island, located near Everett, WA in Snohomish county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, on this date at about 04:48 p.m., they were called to this location to respond to a vessel collision.  They were told that two vessels collided and one of the vessels was disabled and adrift.  A deputy contacted one of the passengers on the disabled vessel (V1) at the Everett Marina to get a more precise location of their vessel.   
  
  At about 05:22 p.m., officers contacted V1 and its owner.  He told officers that he was driving northbound toward Camano Island from Possession Bar when another vessel (V2) collided with the stern of his vessel causing his kicker outboard motor to be ripped off and damage to his main outboard engine.  Operator1 indicated that when he contacted the operator of V2, Operator2, he was yelling at him so they separated.  Operator1 pointed out the other vessel (V2), who was just east of their location and waiting for Law Enforcement to contact them.
  
  Officers rigged lines to connect the disabled vessel (V1) to their vessel to help tow it to the Hat Island Marina.  They drove toward V2 so they could tell him to follow them, then continued on to Hat Island where they secured V1 at the Marina.  After V1 was secured at the dock, officers contacted the operator of V2 (Operator2).  
   
  Operator2 told officers that he was driving his vessel, with his family, from Everett to Camano Island.  When they were in between Hat Island and Camano Island, V1, operated by Operator1, came out of nowhere and cut in front of them.  Operator2, V2 stated that there was not enough time for him to avoid the collision.
  
  Officers observed damage to the bow of V2, just above the water line.  They collected Operator2’s vessel registration and his Boater Education Card and exchanged information with the family (V1).
  
  The family left their vessel (V1) at the Marina and accepted a ride to the Camano Island State Park.
