RedactedNarrative: On or abut 14:00 hours on 28th of July, 2017, the operator of the vessel "After Burn" in the vicinity of Lorain Harbor.  His original course was from Ontario, Canada to his home port but, he decided to seek safe harbor once the weather turned foul.  The weather at the time of incident was observed to be  >6' waves and steady wind at 17MPH from the NE. The operator stated that he was operating the vessel under both sail and power.  At some point during entry into the harbor, one of the occupants of the vessel, was knocked off balance and struck his face against the cabin of the vessel.  This incident caused several lacerations to his face which caused external bleeding.
  
  While attempting to maneuver in the harbor, the operator noticed that a line from the vessel had gone overboard and fouled his propeller.  He was still under sail at that point  and immediately threw the vessel's anchor overboard.  He stated that the anchor failed to hold and he subsequently attempted to anchor the vessel  a second time.  At that point, the vessel ran aground against the west breakwall of the Lorain Harbor (the stern was the contact point).
  
  The operator was able to hail the USCG Station, Lorain via marine band radio at some point during this time.  USCG Station Lorain dispatched their 45' boat and the crew was able to successfully retrieve the distressed vessel as well as all 3 persons on board.  The vessel was transported to H dock in Spitzer's Lakeside Marina and subsequently moored.  LifeCare EMS was notified of the occupants injuries and they had transported him to Mercy Hospital in Lorain where he received sutures to his head/face.
