RedactedNarrative: On July 22 at approximately 8:30 PM, the operator of Vessel I was leaving the docks at the Wolfetrap Restaurant. She backed out of the slip and put the boat in forward to proceed. 
  
  Due to the pouring rain, the operator decided to place her bag containing her laptop under the helm in an attempt to keep it dry; in doing so, her arm hit the throttle forward which rapidly increased the speed of the vessel. 
  
  The boat swerved to the right and struck two vessels that were docked right across from her slip. The operator was able to regain control of the vessel, but left the area without reporting the accident. A witness called the incident in to NH Marine Patrol who was able to locate the operator the following day. Both struck vessels (vessels II and III) sustained damage to the transom area.
