RedactedNarrative: On Thursday, July 29, 2021 at approximately 1547 hours Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to a call for a vessel accident at in Middle River.
  Upon arriving on scene, I observed a White Grady-White vessel (bearing registration # MD5848BM) on land with extensive damage to the keel area of the hull. I made contact with the operator/owner of the vessel, OPERATOR 1. OPERATOR 1 had a scratch on his right knee, but reported that he was okay.
  After asking OPERATOR 1 what happened, OPERATOR 1 explained to me that he was attempting to get a video of his outboard motors to send to his mechanic while running an auto-pilot feature on his boat (running a heading of 170 degrees). When he turned around, he was heading towards a piling. After striking the piling with his rub-rail on the starboard bow of the vessel, he fell down and the vessel proceeded to made head on contact with the bulkhead. OPERATOR 1 said that the vessel was going roughly 30 knots. The vessel was completely over the bulkhead and on land.
  OPERATOR 1 stated that the vessel was “totaled.” No alcohol was observed on the vessel. OPERATOR 1 stated that he was not drinking.
  Pictures of the bulkhead and vessel are attached to this incident report.
  I issued OPERATOR 1 6 warnings:
