RedactedNarrative: On 03-21-20 I responded to a vessel accident in Inverness FL. At The conclusion of my Investigation I determined that the operator of V-1 was traveling east in an unnamed canal heading into East Cove. V-1 struck an idle speed marker and broke it off below the waterline. No one on V-1 was injured. I issued the operator of V-1 a citation for violation of navigation rule #6 and written warnings for fail to report a vessel accident and violation of navigation rule #8
