  On 08/09/2020, at about 12:30 p.m., these 2 vessels were operating in Puget Sound about 2 miles North of Blake Island, located near Bainbridge Island, WA in King county.
  
  According to the Operator of V1 they were in the center of the Puget Sound channel motoring North off Yeomalt Point on Bainbridge Island.  She observed a freighter turning East into Elliott Bay a few miles North of them and a recreational fishing boat (V2) abut ¼ mile ahead facing East that she assumed was trolling.
  
  Operator1 continued her watch and reading her magazine and was shocked when she ran into V2.  There was no one on the deck of V2 as it was drifting.  About 20 seconds after impact the Operator of V2 came to the deck.  V1’s Occupant had come from below immediately and put V1 in reverse.  
  
  After a few minutes, a woman aboard V2 came on deck and everyone was assessing the damage.  V1 circled around and exchanged names and insurance information with V2.  V1 seemed structurally fine.  The Operator of V2 seemed to feel his vessel was listing and said he was going to head back to port.  Both vessels then separated and went on their way.
