RedactedNarrative: At 1916 hours Ranger and I went to slip at Hall's Crossing Marina to investigate a report of a boat accident. I contact the houseboat "Desert Horizon", which was the houseboat docked at slip. The operator of "Desert Horizon" gave me the details of how the collision occurred.
  
  Operator1 stated that he was operating "Desert Horizon" at approximately 1816 hours and the strong winds made docking very difficult. His wife, Operator1, was waiting on the slip between slips so that she could help tie the boat to the dock. When he attempted to enter the slip, the conditions forced the bow of "Desert Horizon" into the starboard side stern corner of the houseboat "Canyon Cruiser" in slip.
  
  I observed a large dented section of the starboard side stern of "Canyon Cruiser" when I walked out onto the slip between these two houseboats. "Canyon Cruiser" was unoccupied and docked. In his voluntary statement, Operator1 claims that engine failure also contributed to the collision. After the collision, Operator1 navigated Desert Horizon into slip and proceeded to call dispatch to report the incident. A photo log is attached to this report.
