RedactedNarrative: On October 17, 2021, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Division of Law Enforcement, responded to Flagler County Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) regarding a boating accident. 
  A single vessel had crashed into a homeowners association dock on the east side of the ICW belonging to Treasure by the Sea RV Park Flagler Beach, 32136.
  After interviewing the operator of vessel 1, I discovered that while he was making way north at planning speed in the ICW,  the overhead compartment on the T-Top came open allowing items to fall out. The passenger on board started collecting the debris. The operator also started to pick up items; however, he did not reduce speed or take the vessel out of gear. The vessel meandered starboard and out of the channel striking a dock piling. The passenger then attempted to put the vessel in reverse however it went under the dock causing a 12'-15' section to lift and then collapse.  The vessel came to a rest next to the dock. Neither the operator nor the passenger were injured, but the vessel sustained minor crushing fiberglass damage to its starboard side and bow. 
  Based on physical evidence, interviews with witnesses on land, and statement from the operator and passenger, I determined the operator violated the following Navigation Rules: 
  Rule 5 “Look-Out” 
  Rule 6 “Safe Speed” 
  Rule 7 “Risk of Collision” 
  Rule 8 “Action to Avoid Collision” 
  The operator was issue written warnings as noted above.
  END of NARRATIVE
