RedactedNarrative: On 09/01/19 at approximately 1715 hours, I, Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police responded to a boating accident that occurred at the Deep Creek Marina fuel docks. I arrived to the main rental location and made contact with the service manager who showed me the damage on both rental pontoons (MD0592LB and MD0603LB). A gentleman named Operator1 was the operator of vessel MD0603LB. Operator1 had struck the engine cowling of MD0592LB while trying to pull into the fuel docks. He also struck the dock causing damage to the pontoon's splash guard.
  
  During this incident, the operator of MD0592LB was sitting in his rental pontoon fueling up before returning to the rental dock. He witnessed the damage happen to his rental pontoon and provided a voluntary written witness statement. The wind was also a contributing factor to the accident for Operator1. I observed the wind in the area before arriving and Operator1 told me this was a contributing factor for him. Damage estimates were taken at the marina, this accumulated to $2250.00. This included a repainted engine cowling for MD0592LB and repaired splash guard for MD0603LB. Subject and Operator1 had settled on an agreement for the damage vessels by signing a document. Operator1 told me had struck the fuel dock and the engine cowling of the pontoon of MD0592LB. Photographs of MD0592LB engine cowling were taken by the rental employees as per procedure, before MD0592LB left the marina. I observed the "before picture" of the cowling with no damage. I photographed the damaged of both pontoons. No violations.
  
  All events occurred in Garrett County, Maryland.
