RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was heading south along Cumberland Island about 10 miles offshore in rough conditions and decided to come into the St Marys river entrance. His electronics were down and he was trying to use his phone and memory to navigate into the river. As he approached the area he noticed the red and green markers and went straight towards them thinking he was at the mouth of the river. He was in fact north of the jetties and hit the north jetty while trying to get to the channel. The boat bounced across the rocks. He checked both hulls and found the starboard side taking on water. This was about 2230 hours. 
  At this time, Operator1 called Coastguard. Then he threw out the anchor but was continuing to drift. Coastguard was over two hours out so Deputy with Nassau County responded to the scene and removed Operator1 from his vessel. When Deputy responded he found Operator1 to actually be on the Georgia side of the channel. Deputy took Operator1 to the hospital where he was admitted and released the next morning. 
   
  Deputy called GA State Patrol dispatch who in turn called me around 0130 hours. I spoke with Operator1 around 0220 hours. He advised me that he was ok and would be released in the morning. His vessel came to rest on the beach at Ft. Clinch on the Florida side of the channel. I spoke with him several times over the next few days while he worked out getting the boat to a dry dock facility on the North River in St Marys. On 12/13/2015, Operator1 was able to float the vessel himself using a water pump and get the boat to the Fernandina Marina that night. He motored the vessel up to the Point Peter docks on the North River the next day and it was pulled from the water. 
   
  I came to the Point Peter docks and met with Operator1 on 12/15/2015. He is staying on the boat and plans to do the repairs himself over the next couple of months. I completed the rest of this incident report and had Operator1 send me the account of the event that he had posted on his blog and a list of damages.
