RedactedNarrative: On 6/9/16 at 1400 hours, a Voyageurs National Park service officer received a report of a disabled vessel on the lake east of Sugarbush Island. He located the vessel and determined the two occupants were uninjured.
  
   The operator stated he was traveling west with navigational buoy #38 on his left side. They struck a rock with the motor, causing damage to the lower unit. Buoy #38 marks rocks that can be submerged depending on the water level. The operator stated he had been operating through that area earlier without any trouble. Voyageurs National Park towed the disabled watercraft in and transported the occupants to their campsite to retrieve their gear. (They were given a written warning for camping without a permit by Voyageurs National Park.)
  
  On 6/24/16 at 0910 hours, a deputy at the county sheriff's office received a copy of the report from Voyageurs National Park. They sent the report over as the damage was over $2000. The county has been unable to contact the owner/operator of the boat, after several attempts, to get specifics regarding the boat motor.
