RedactedNarrative: On Monday, January 20th, 2020, Subject and Operator were operating a stick steer Jon Boat on the Satilla River down river from the Hwy 121 bridge. Operator was operating the vessel from the forward position and Subject, the boat owner, was riding on the seat behind him. 
  
  During the operation of the vessel Operator encountered a tree stump ahead in the river unexpectedly but could not correct his course in time to avoid the obstruction. 
  
  The vessel hit hard on the stump throwing Operator onto the bow and threw Subject into the seat where Operator had been sitting. Neither occupant was wearing a personal flotation device, but were not thrown from the vessel. 
  
  Operator sustained two cracked ribs, several bruises, and a swollen knee. Subject had a severe impact with the seat and had several deep bruises on his shinbone and thigh. The accident was reported to Game Warden the next evening on January 21st, 2020. Inspection of the damaged vessel shows the right front of the vessel severely dented and a bowing of the right front gunwale and hull. Nothing else follows.
