RedactedNarrative: On 07/03/2020 at 1830, I was detailed to a vessel accident at the Deauville Inn, Strathmere section of Upper Twp., Cape May County. 
  
  Upon my arrival, I met with the owner / operators of the vessel # 1 and vessel # 2. Owner of Vessel 1 stated that while they were untying her vessel from the dock it started to float backwards and struck the boat behind them. 
  
  Owner of Vessel 2 stated that he and his family were at the Deauville Inn with his boat docked. The other vessel which was docked in front of his started to untie and drift backwards. At this time that vessel struck mine in the bow. 
  
  The Investigation at the scene revealed : Both Vl and V2 were docked at the Deauville Inn. V2 remained docked while the operator of Vl was attempting to untie the vessel from the dock. While doing so, the current caused Vl to drift backwards striking V2 in the bow. Vl sustained minor damage to the swim platform. V2 sustained fiberglass damage to the bow eye and mounting plate. No injuries were reported at this time. Both vessels were operated from scene.
