RedactedNarrative: The owner of vessel #1 (V1) stated in effect: We were near the entrance of Atlantic Highlands Marina operating with our motor only when we lost power. The boat drifted into the pilings head on and wedged in-between two of them.
  
  Investigation revealed: V1 was traveling south on Sandy Hook Bay, Atlantic Highlands Borough, Monmouth County near the western most entrance of Atlantic Highlands Marina. The marina has a rock sea wall that spans its entire length east to west and there are entrances on both east and west sides.

Damage included scratches and scuff marks on both sides, and exposed fiberglass on the starboard side. No injuries were reported. Tow boat US assisted with removing V1 from the pilings and towed it to Atlantic Highlands Marina pier 9. USCG, Leonardo Fire, Atlantic Highlands Fire, EMS and Police were on the scene to assist.
