RedactedNarrative: On January 24th, 2015 v-1 was departing "picnic" island heading west.  v-1 struck a navigation marker causing vessel damage and one person on board to be injured.
  
  At some time between 7:30pm and 8:00pm a group of 10 people boarded vessel FL 9854 PR to leave "Picnic Island" and head toward downtown Miami.  Operator departed the island and headed west towards the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).  According to a statement made by Operator, he claimed he brought two bright lights and placed them at the bow and stern of the vessel to help assist him see at night.  Operator told me that he realized this made it more complicated to see but did not turn off the lights.
  
  Shortly after departing the island, the vessel struck (according to the passengers on board) ICW green marker #45 headon.  The impact caused the passengers on board to forcefully shift locations.  Passenger was the only passenger to be injured onboard.  
  
  During my investigation Operator showed signs of impairment.  Based on Operator' field sobriety tasks performance he was placed under arrest for boating under the influence.  He later refused to provide a breath sample and was booked into TGK jail within Miami Dade County.; Occupant was thrown from one location of the vessel to another.  The result of this was a broken pelvis and a punctured bladder.
