RedactedNarrative: On February 5th, 2021, a vessel with two occupants crashed into the mangroves near Blackwater Sound.  Both occupants were uninjured and the operator said he was watching his GPS instead of using his spotlight to see where he was at.  He stated that they were at Gilbert’s Resort for dinner and then decided to go shrimping.  He stated they started at Adam’s Cut and caught only two or three shrimp before deciding to head to Dusenbery Creek.  He said he was going about 20-30 kts and was up on plane when they hit the mangroves.  Operator said that he was looking at his GPS, and then complained about how old and useless it was, instead of using his spotlight.  He said he did not realize where they were until it was too late.  Throughout the interview I again, observed the overwhelming odor of an alcoholic beverage and observed his speech to be slurred and his eyes to be bloodshot and glassy.  I asked him if he had anything to drink during the night.  He stated that he had a few beers before the crash and then, “A bunch after because I thought we were going to be there awhile.”
