RedactedNarrative: On July 15th, 2022 at approximately 1600-1630, an accident occured involving (2) vessels that were moored on shore near Red Lodge Campground Site R27 at Cooney Reservoir State Park.  
  
  At approximately 1600, vessel #1 was unoccupied with its bow secured to shore at Red Lodge Campground near campsite R27 with a stake. It''s stern was secured in a westward direction with an anchor.  
  
  At approximately 1600, vessel #2 approached the same area as vessel #1 and made preparations to moor their vessel quickly due to an incoming storm.  Vessel #2 was directed by a camp host to secure their bowline to the same stake that vessel #1 was attached to.
  
  The owners of vessel #2 did so and then secured their stern in an Eastward direction away from vessel #1 and returned to their campsite at R1.  At this time vessel #1 was to the West of vessel #2 and seperated by about 15-20ft.
  
  At approximately 1615, the owners of vessel #2 observed from their campsite that vessel #1 had become loose and was being pushed by the high winds from the storm towards the East and was making contact with vessel #2.  The owners of vessel #2 attempted to seperate the boats to prevent further damage.
  
  A seasonal park employee was driving by the area when the incident started and was asked by the owners of vessel #2 to retrieve the owner of vessel #1.  The owner of vessel #1 arrived approximately 5-10 minutes later and observed what was happening.
  
  After approximatley 45-60 minutes, the owners of vessel #2 were able to move their watercraft about 30 more feet to the East and out of the way of vessel #1.  Vessel #1 was not moved during the storm and is still moored to shore at the time of this narrative.
  
  Vessel #2 was removed from the water the next morning and trailered back to the owners campsite at R1. 
  
  Photos of both vessels were documented.  Interviews were conducted with both owners of vessel #2, the owner of vessel #1 and the camp host. 
  
  MHP Dispatch pulled a weather report for the date and time of this incident.  Weather was reported as: Temp 67 degrees, Dew 55, Humidity 66%, Wind 28 MPH gusting to 42MPH, Rain 700th of an Inch. Station ID MTM64
  
  Under those conditions, vessel #1''s anchor was not sufficient enough to keep it moored in it''s original position.  As a result, vessel #1 was pushed by the high winds into vessel #2 which is what caused the damage to vessel #2.
  
  This concludes the narrative for this boating incident.
