RedactedNarrative: On May 24 2015 at approximately 1600 hours subject1 was operating his vessel, a 2002 30 foot Sea Ray FL8775MX, headed east near channel marker 15 in Lemon bay toward the Intercostal Water Way (ICW). The weather was clear and the water was choppy due to heavy boat traffic. On board the vessel were five people. 
  Operator stated two other vessels were operating in the channel between markers 15 and 16 headed in his direction towards Stump Pass. As he rounded the curve within the channel he tried to remain to the far left to give way for the other vessels. Operator realized that he was too far out of the channel, but was unable to correct his course before running his vessel aground at a speed of approximately 17 knots. 
  As the vessel came to an abrupt stop one of the passengers was thrown forward. She fell into the cabin of the vessel and struck the corner of her eye. She was transported to Englewood hospital where she was treated for stitches on her left eye. She released later that evening. No one else was injured on the vessel, and no other vessels were involved.
