RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated to the effect:
  
  I was attempting to launch the boat at the Absecon ramp. Once I got the vessel off the trailer and into the water, I was having trouble tying the boat up to the dock because of the wind. The bow of my boat then swung over and struck the other vessel that was docked. 
  
  
  Operator # 2 of vessel #2 stated to the effect:
  
  My vessel was tied to the pilings at the ramp. I was walking to my truck, when a gentleman walked up to me and stated that his vessel just struck my boat. I did not see the incident happen. We both walked down to the dock to look at the damage together.
