RedactedNarrative: On 11/1/2016 I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Division of Law Enforcement; were dispatched to the Ortega Landing Marina in reference to a boating accident.
  
  I arrived at the scene (Dock D at the marina) and met with subjects.
  
  Operator1 stated that he had entered the marina to dock his vessel (V1 on report) into his slip (#138).  Operator1 stated that he had passed his slip in order to back into it.  After passing his slip he realized he was too close to V3 and stated that the wind had caught his boat while he was backing up.  He then stated that he scraped the anchor of V3 (photo 10 and 11) with his port side causing a window on his port side to be damaged (photo 1).  Operator1 submitted a sworn written statement that he raised his right hand to swear was true.  The statement is attached to this report.  
  
  V2 owner stated he was in V2 when he felt his vessel jar.  V2 owner stated his vessel was docked and tied up in its slip.  V2 owner stated he went topside on his vessel to see V1 scraping the right bow of his vessel while it was backing up.  V2 owner stated he pushed V1 away from his vessel as it passed by.  V2 owner stated that V1 damaged his vessel (photo 5).  V2 owner submitted a sworn written statement that he raised his right hand to swear was true.  The statement is attached to this report.
  
  Officer and I observed no damage to V3.
  
  I photographed the damage to V1 and V2.  Those photos are attached to this report.
  
  I took a photograph of V3's stern and attached it to this report.
  
  
  Case status:  Pending further investigation.
  
  On 11/7/2016 I met with harbor master at the Ortega Landing Marina in reference to possible damage to V3.  He stated he had inspected the V3 with a representative of the owner.  He stated that no damage was discovered.
  
  I boarded V3 with him and took a picture of V3's anchor.  There appeared to be a trace a white substance on the anchor consistent with V1.  However, there was no observable damage to the anchor or V3.
  
  I gave him my contact information.
  
  My investigation revealed that Operator1 (operator of V1) failed to maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.
  
  I issued Operator1 FWC warning for violation of navigation rules.  I mailed the warning to Operator1's address.
  
  Case status:  Closed.
