RedactedNarrative: Operator No. 1 stated via email:
  "I was operating my jet ski about two (2) to three (3) hundred (100) yards from the Corson's inlet bridge, I was facing a northbound direction. Operator2's marine vessel was traveling in a North west direction and was located on my side slightly behind me. 
  
  I made a two hundred and seventy degrees (270*) turn on my vessel and ended up facing Operator2's vessel in a head on manner. The rate of speed in which I was traveling made a collision between the two vessels unavoidable on my part. 
  
  I turned my vessel as much as possible and we ended up colliding. If Operator2 made an evasive maneuver, it is in my opinion we could have avoided the collision. I had no way of seeing Operator2's vessel from the position and location of my vessel. 
  
  Operator2 was in a position that if paying attention he would be able to see me. It had stormed earlier on in the day. Our two vessels were the only ones present in the area of the collision. There was only one other ski parked on the beach. Being that there was no other marine traffic in the area, I believe that Operator2 had plenty of room to avoid the collision. He was coming from a no wake area with plenty of time to avoid the entire area surrounding me. 
  
  After the collision, we both docked our vessels on the beach and contacted the coast guard to report the accident. The coast guard informed us that they would not be able to respond for approximately two (2) to three (3) hours. Due to the time of day both myself as well as Operator2 decided we would leave before dark and exchange information. The coast guard was notified of this." 
  
  Operator No. 2 stated via email: 
  
  "I was traveling northbound coming into Corson's Inlet when a jet skier ahead of me was going around in circles. When he finally came out of the circles and headed straight, he struck me at a fast speed on the starboard side of the boat. There is now a small gash on the aluminum rail. We immediately proceeded to the beach to exchange information and to call the coast guard." 
  
  Due to both parties departure from the scene, the investigation was conducted via phone interviews, emailed statements and pictures. The investigation revealed that Vessel No. 1 and Vessel No. 2 were traveling north through Corson's Inlet. Vessel No. 1 was turning and Vessel No. 2 maintaining its heading when Vessel No. 1 struck Vessel No. 2. The starboard bow side of Vessel No. 1 struck the starboard amidships of Vessel No. 2, as evidenced by photographs submitted. Vessel No. 1 sustained visible damage to the starboard bow. Vessel No. 2 sustained visible damage to the amidships starboard side. There were no reported injuries. Both vessels were operational and navigated under their own power back to their respective ports.
