RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling south bound on the banana river when it struck the 528 causeway bridge, breaking the mast off of V1 and causing the vessel to then drift north. 
  
  Operator started his trip that morning at Cape Marina inside Port Canaveral. He locked through into the Banana River with the plan to travel to south Florida to visit family. 
  -	Operator was unfamiliar with the area and did not realize his best route would have been to travel west through the barge canal to the Indian River and head south from there.
  -	Operator looked on his GPS but could not find the height of the 528 causeway on the Banana river and he thought it appeared to be higher than 65 feet. 
  -	Operator idled toward the bridge an as he approached he realized he was going to strike the bridge. 
  -	The center mast of the vessel struck the causeway causing it to break and fall to the port side into the water. As it broke and fell it pulled the forward mast down causing it to break. 
  -	Operator’s vessel then drifted north with the wind going under the causeway and ending up approximately 100 yards north of the causeway which is where we located him. 
    	During this time Coast Guard arrived on scene and upon our request they checked the causeway for any possible damages. They reported back stating the bridge was operational and no visible marks or damage occurred. 
  	Operator made plans to get his vessel to the local marina where it could be pulled from the water and eventually repaired.
