RedactedNarrative: Vessel navigating canal struck warning cables. No injuries. 
  
  Operator stated he drove to South Carolina to purchase the vessel and was returning to Alabama by water. He stated he was headed to Ft. Myers and thought that after he came through the Clewiston Locks he was navigating the Caloosahatchee River. He advised me he was Idling at a slow speed due to the narrowness of the canal. He stated he was looking to his port and starboard sides due to passing a yacht on his starboard side and being close to rocks on his port side. He said he was not paying close attention to what was in front or above him. He stated he heard his outriggers hit the warning cables at which time the telephone pole they were attached to broke and the wires fell to the water. He then docked his boat at Roland Martins Marina and awaited my arrival. 
  
  I then spoke with an employee for the City of Clewiston Utilities Division, he was the supervisor on scene. He advised me that the city would be seeking reimbursement for the damages.
