RedactedNarrative: Waiting for Officer Report.
  
  From Operator Reports:  Vessel 2 travelling approximately 15-20 mph parallel to shore waiting for traffic to clear.  Vessel 1 approaches from left, operator does see me until he is very close.  Vessel 1 Operator tried to avoid Vessel 2 by slowing down as much as possible.  Vessel 2 Operator lets go of the gas, can’t steer and runs into the side of Vessel 2.
  
  
  Officer Report:  Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were on a close to parallel course approximately 200 feet apart.  Vessel 2 was on the port side and slightly abaft the beam of Vessel 1  
  
  Vessel 1 Operator was watching the PWC in front of him.  Vessel 2 Operator recognized that the other PWC was slowing.  Vessel 2 then changed course to go around the slowing PWC.  Vessel 2 changed the starboard side of its original course which was now approximately an east northeast heading.  Boat continued on its course and maintained speed. Vessel 2 Operator continued to watch the other PWC which was now to his port and abaft the beam.  Vessel 1 Operator recognized that the boats were on a collision course and attempted to stop his boat.  Vessel 2 Operator looked forward when he was approximately 15-20 feet from Vessel 1.  Vessel 2 let off the gas and attempted to steer away, but the PWC was not able to turn while off power. 
  
  The front of Vessel 2 collided with the port side of Vessel 1.  After the initial collision, the back of Vessel 2 spun and collided with the back half of the port side of Vessel 1.
