RedactedNarrative: On 12/23/2015, at about 07:30 p.m., V2 left the marina along with 6 other family members to view the finale of the Christmas ships in Portage Bay and Lake Union in Seattle, WA located in King county.
  
  According to Operator2, for the next 1.5 hours, he and his 6 passengers enjoyed the lighted boats and music from the Argosy Ship.  After the show was over in Portage Bay, they decided to venture over to Lake Union for the finale in front of the Gas Works Park.  
  
  Sometime around 09:30 p.m., V2 was on the North side of Portage Bay, close to Jenson Boat Co. when the vessel (V2) had to come to a complete stop for a kayaker who seemed unaware or their presence.  According to Operator2, by the time he put the boat in gear again he noticed that a large tourist boat was being pushed into their lane of exit.  Operator2 felt he could make it around, but a collision occurred on V2's port side, midship, and on his starboard transom.
  
  After putting V2's motor in neutral, Operator2 felt like the boat was getting closer to shore so he decided to get the boat into the slip as soon as possible to access damage and the safety to his passengers.
  
  After safely docking V2 Operator2 phoned the Seattle Harbor Police to inform them of the incident.  The Officer then told Operator2 that he would call him back after talking with Argosy.  Operator2 was later informed by Seattle Harbor Police that the 4 Argosy boats in Portage Bay were unaware of any accident occurring.  The Officer instructed Operator2 to submit a BAR to Washington State Parks Boating Program.
