RedactedNarrative: Two 20 foot recreational vessels were on full plane approaching one another in a narrow channel, neither allowing one another enough sea room during their approach. Both reported that the other vessel operator had made a sudden left turn in front of them and at the last  minute, both operators reportedly made hard right turns to avoid a head-on meeting situation. As a result of their delayed reaction, both subsequently collided into each other port to port. Two subjects (both male juveniles) from one of the vessels were ejected into the air and landed safely in the water. Vessel #2 was towed in by Boat US.  F.W.C. was assisted by the Lee County Sheriff Deputy Marine Unit, which were the first responders on scene.  Both operators were issued careless operation citations for violation of U.S.C.G. Rules #7 (Risk of Collision) and #8 (Action to avoid collision).
