RedactedNarrative: NARRATIVE:  On Saturday April 29, 2017 at approximately 1615hrs I was approached at the Katherine Marina launch ramp by OPERATOR who wanted to file a boat accident report.  I followed OPERATOR to his vehicle where he had two Personal Water Craft (PWCs) trailered I saw that one watercraft had damage to the forward starboard hull, and aft port hull.  I saw that the damage on the port side had breached the hull, and OPERATOR told me that they had to bail water from the craft after it was trailered.
  
  OPERATOR told me that the accident happened at approximately 1500hrs near the buoy line at the Nevada Telephone Cove.  OPERATOR told me that he was operating the vessel with a passenger at the time of the accident.  OPERATOR was traveling north at approximately 10 to 20 mph toward the shoreline of the smaller cove northeast of the Nevada Telephone Cove buoy line.  As they were traveling north, OPERATOR saw what appeared to be a rock outcrop away from the shoreline.  OPERATOR told hard to the east (starboard) to avoid the outcrop, but struck the object at approximately 10 to 20 mph.  Both OPERATOR and occupant were thrown from the vessel, suffering minor injuries. 
  
  INJURIES:  Superficial scrapes and cuts to operator and passenger legs.  Both declined medical care.
  
  EVIDENCE:  Damage to vessel and minor injuries to operator and passenger.
  
  ACTION TAKEN:  Took verbal statements from operator (OPERATOR) and Passenger.  Took photos damage to PWC, and filed a boat accident report.
  
  CITATIONS:  None.
