RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 attempted to pass Vessel 2 on the left in the Intra-Coastal Waterway, going South just South of the 79th Street Bridge. Vessel 1 saw Vessel 3 coming North, and turned sharply  back to the right to avoid it. The bow of Vessel 1 collided with the stern of Vessel 2. Vessel 1 left the scene.
   Operator 2 stated that he was on his boat Sunday evening. He was with his friend and 6 other passengers who were not identified. He was heading South in the Intra-Coastal Waterway (ICW), just South of the 79th Street Causeway. Another boat, a White and Brown 20ft Grady White FL1724LY, came from behind and tried to pass him on the left. When the Grady White operator saw that there was another boat heading North, he turned sharply back to the right. His bow made contact with the back left corner of Operator 2’s boat, and ramped up onto the stern of the vessel. The Grady White leaned to the right, and slid back down the right side of the stern. It then continued its course, heading South at a high rate of speed.
  Operator 2 was able to get a picture of the Grady White, and he shared it with us. Using the vessel registration number, I acquired the address of the registered owner, Operator 1. We went to Miller’s residence and spoke with him. He stated that he had launched his boat at the Morningside Park Boat Ramp on Sunday, and had gone up to Haulover Sandbar with 3 other passengers who were not identified. He was returning to the ramp through the ICW, and passed under 79th Street. Operator 1 said that he was operating the boat, and he was never involved in an accident.
  We observed and photographed the damages on both vessels. The damage is consistent with Operator 2’s description of the accident.
