RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 drifting after the engine quit.  Vessel 2 Operator observed the need for help.  Due to high winds and excessive speed, Vessel 2 collided with Vessel 1 as Vessel 2 was pulling up to Vessel 1.   Vessel 2 fore starboard side struck Vessel 1 starboard door and framing aft of the door.  Vessel 1 Operator claimed as Vessel 2 Operator approved, they tossed him a rope and as Vessel 1 Operator was reaching for the rope, Vessel 2 collided causing Vessel 1 Operator to fall on his left knee and he also received a cut to the back of this left leg approximately 4-5” long.  Vessel 1 Operator claims injuries due to the impact were the cut to the back of his leg and cartilage tears to his left knee.  Vessel 1 Operator did not say anything to others on scene at the time of the incident about the injuries.  Vessel 1 Operator did not seek medical attention until 9 days after the incident due to infection now on the injured leg.
  Vessel 2 Operator report states:  after towing Vessel 1 to shore, Vessel 1 Operator let go from the tow rope and jumped off the boat to catch the boat, it appeared that Vessel 1 Operator pinched his leg between the boat and a log at shore.  At no time was there any injury said during the 15-20 minutes we had talked, so I am contesting the claim of this injury.
