RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated in Effect:
  
  "We were driving on my jet ski when a big wave came and flipped us over and knocked us both off. We started drifting apart and couldn't get back to the ski. After about fifteen minutes, another jet skier came by and helped us both over to the pier."
  
  Investigation Revealed:
  
  Vessel #1 was underway southbound in Upper New York Bay approximately 40 yards east of Cape Liberty Cruise Port Pier. Operator #1 struck a wave subsequently capsizing Vessel #1 and ejecting both himself and Victim #1.
  
  Both occupants were wearing Type III PFD's and stayed afloat while attempting to swim toward Vessel #1. Both occupants struggled against the chop and current and were unsuccessful for approximately 15 minutes at which time a good Samaritan arrived. Subject1 was operating his PWC with a rear seat passenger when he stopped to assist. He exited his PWC allowing his passenger to take over operation. He boarded Vessel #1 and then assisted both Operator #1 and Victim #1 to the pier where Bayonne Fire was able to hoist both up to the pier.
  
  Operator #1 refused medical attention while Victim #1 was transported by McCabe Ambulance Service to Bayonne Medical Center with a complaint of exhaustion where she was treated and released. Operator #1 allowed subject to operate Vessel #1 to Sewaren Municipal Ramp where Operator #1 later met him to take possession of Vessel #1.
  
  Also assisting on scene were Port Authority Police, NYPD Marine, and FDNY Marine.
  
  This vessel accident is attributed to unsafe operation by Operator #1, specifically operating too fast for conditions.
  
  Boxes 22, 23, & 25: Operator #1 stated he had completed his boating safety course years ago but could not locate his card on scene or at home. For purposes of this report he is unlicensed.
