RedactedNarrative:      On 8/7/2016 at approximately 12:10 I received a phone call from Sgt. in reference to a boat accident at Sulpher Creek Marina. I was in route to the location at 12:39, and arrived on scene at 13:31. Upon arrival I was able to interview and obtain witness statements from the owner of each vessel and an independent witness. The damage to both vessels was documented and photographed. I cleared the scene at 16:10.
  
       According to witness statements on Sunday, August 7, 2016, at 11:15, operator1 was attempting to moor his vessel, Vessel 1, a 66’ Summerset houseboat, Coast Guard documented as "Incommunicado" (#1092312) into slip C-45, at Sulphur Creek Marina, on Dale Hollow Lake. As Operator1 was starting to pull into his slip, a gust of wind turned Vessel 1 sideways and he was unable to recover. 
  
  The port side of Vessel 1 struck the stern of Vessel 2, a 60' Sumerset houseboat, (KY 0691 PT), which was docked in slip C-43.  The impact cause damage to a slide that was attached to the stern of Vessel 2. To prevent more damage to Vessel 2, Operator1 gave more power to Vessel 1, attempting to separate from Vessel 2. This action caused Vessel 1 to contact Vessel 2, two more times.
   
        co-owners of Vessel 2 stated that Vessel 1 struck their boat a total of three times.
