RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Statement: 
  I was attempting to dock when the wind and current pushed my bow to the port side. My bow thruster was not strong enough to push it away from the other boat. 
  
  Vessel #2 was occupied on the T end of B Dock. Occupants report seeing the boat fighting the current and ultimately hitting their vessel on its pulpit. 
  
  Investigation revealed: 
  Vessel #1, a 1985 Kadey Krogen Manatee, was on approach to the Avalon Marine Center T End slip of "A" Dock from the south traveling north. Vessel #2, a 1986 Grand Banks Classic, was secured to the T End slip of "B" Dock with 2 occupants within the cabin.
  
   As it approached, the wind and tide were so strong beyond the mechanical needs of the vessel causing it to lose directional control. As a result, the bow of Vessel #1 began to be pushed to the west subsequently impacting the starboard side of the pulpit of Vessel #2 and the piling securing the dock. Vessel #1 came to final rest against Vessel #2 and the piling. Vessel #2 remained secured to the dock. 
  
  Sea-Tow Avalon arrived on scene and provided assistance in separating Vessel #1 and Vessel #2. Vessel #1 sustained moderate damage to its port side. It was secured by its owner on the bulkhead between A and B Dock. Vessel #2 sustained moderate damage to the pulpit and starboard side. It remained secured at the T End Slip of "B" Dock. The piling securing the floating dock owned by Avalon Marine Center was also damaged as a result of the accident. No injuries were reported.
