RedactedNarrative: The vessel was leaving Portside Marina on Kelley’s Island when the vessel was blown into the wall at the entrance, the operator/owner was unable to control it. The vessel struck the wall and put a several foot gash into the port bow of the vessel, above the water line.
  
  Vessel # I  was leaving the dock at Ports1de Manna, 1t turned to starboard to leave the manna.   The vessel started to get  blown towards the seawall to the port of the vessel.  The operator of vessel #1 then backed up into the marina to reposition the vessel to leave the marina.  Once repositioned the operator headed towards the entrance of the marina and was blown into the seawall on the portside.  This caused a several  foot gash in the port bow of vessel #I.   The operator left the marina, saw the damage to his vessel and continued towards his dock because he believed the damage was above the water line.  As they were heading towards Sandusky Bay occupant #3 noticed the vessel was listing to the port and that the bow of the vessel seemed to be getting lower in the water.  The operator stopped the vessel, saw the vessel was taking on water and called the Coast Guard.  Commercial salvage also arrived on scene and dewatered the 
  vessel and towed it to Sandusky.
