RedactedNarrative: I, Game Warden 1 at 1536 on 10212022 was contacted by the Brunswick Office in regards to a boating accident. The accident occurred in the Cumberland River right before St. Andrews Sound. A 20ft motor  vessel struck the starboard side of a sail boat and glanced off of it. No injuries occurred and both vessels returned to the Jekyll Island Marina.
  
  I arrived at the Jekyll Marina at approximately 1620 on 10212022 and interviewed V1 Operator. V1 Operator was the owner and operator for the motor vessel. V1 Operator stated that him, his brother in law, and brother were the only people onboard his vessel. The other two individuals had already left the marina by the time i arrived. V1 Operator stated that he was on his phone checking the tide chart when he heard someone yelling and looked up. That's when he seen the sail boat and attempted to avoid the collision by steering to the starboard side. The port side of the bow made contact with the sail boat and slid from the starboard beam down to the starboard bow. The damage appeared to only be that the bow navigational lights were broken and that his rub rail had pulled away from the vessel on the port side of the bow.
  
  Thirty minutes after interviewing V1 Operator and receiving a written statement from him the sail boat came into the marina. I spoke with all four individuals on board and received a written statement from them as well. V2 Operator was operating the sail boat at the time of the incident. V2 Operator stated that it happened so fast and that they were only going 5mph that he was unable to avoid being hit by V1 Operator. The statements made to me by the rest of the people on the sail boat would indicate this being the case.
  
  On 11/15/22 at 1032 i was finally able to reach V2 Passenger 2 and receive the damage estimate for the sail boat. Its currently sitting at $3300 but they are expecting the damage to go up to $4300 once they send in the remaining receipts.
