RedactedNarrative: On January 24, 2021, I, Officers responded to the shoreline of Lincoln Park, Boggy Bayou, in reference to debris that had washed up during the night. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office flew their drone over the area and located a submerged (sunken) vessel in approximately 12 to 15 feet of water. The image was poor due to the fact of poor water quality and overcast skies. 
  
  	The United States Coast Guard was on scene and notified us that a vessel with damaged was moored up at the Emerald Coast Yacht Club. We checked the area and located the possible striking vessel in boat slip C21. The vessel name is "Renal Odyssey" out of Orlando, with a documentation number of 1264864. I conducted a checked the vessel HIN number (CRSRGA03A607), which returned with a NC registration (NC1132ES), that expires on 12/21/2021. The vessel had damage to the port and starboard side of the bow, the upper level windshield was broken, the captain's chair and the canvas top (and windows on the starboard side) were torn and broken. There was a small amount of blood present. 
  
  	An employee of the yacht club informed me that he had the owner of the vessel on the phone. I spoke with the owner and operator and setup an interview time and location. According to all the sworn witness statements the operator was traveling back to the yacht club when they hit an "unknown" object in the water. They stated they did not see any vessels in their area and could not see what they struck. They returned to the yacht club and went home. Operator suffered a small laceration to his forehead, but did not seek any medical treatment. The owner stated that he was going to contact his insurance company on Monday to report the damage to his vessel. 
  
  	Additionally, a witness provided a possible Florida registration of the sunken vessel as FL5555BV. That vessel is a 1974 Catalina Yacht, which has previously been cited for "No Anchor Light" (03/05/2020) by Officer. It is uncertain if this is the vessel that is resting on the bottom of Boggy Bayou. I spoke with the owner of the reported sunken vessel, and informed him that his vessel may have been involved in a crash and has sank. Owner checked the last known location of his vessel and could not locate it. He did say that it was too dark to see it. He will be checking tomorrow to see if he can locate his vessel. 
  
  	The FWC Dive Team will be conducting a dive on the vessel on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 to verify the vessel registration and condition. A more detailed narrative to follow this initial synopsis. This case is on-going. This occurred in Okaloosa County.
