RedactedNarrative: ON THE MORNING OF 03/05/2021 OPERATOR WAS MOTOR SAILING HIS 43 FOOT ENDEAVOR SAILBOAT TO BROWNS CREEK, MERRITT, NC, FROM WILMINGTON AFTER A PURCHASE OF THE VESSEL HAD BEEN MADE THE DAY BEFORE.  OPERATOR HAD STATED BY THIS TIME HE HAD BEEN AWAKE FOR MORE THAN 30 HOURS MAKING THE ENTIRE TRIP ALONE AND NODDED OFF TO SLEEP FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AS THE VESSEL WAS MOTOR SAILING IN ADAMS CREEK. THE VESSEL THEN STRUCK THE PIER LOCATED AT 530 SENSATION WEIGH IN BEAUFORT NC. THE PIER BELONGED TO JARRET BAY BOAT WORKS.  THE COLLISION CREATED DAMAGE TO THE DOCK (PILE ON''S, DOCK, BOAT LIFT, BOAT LIFT PARTS) IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $12,000.  THE VESSEL ITSELF HAD MINOR DAMAGE ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1,000 (BENT BROKEN BOW RAILING, MINOR GEL COAT DAMAGE). I MADE CONTACT WITH OPERATOR AND FIRST MADE SURE THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND DISCUSSED THE ROUTE HE WAS TRAVELING TO BE ABLE TO COME TO COME TO HIM. I MET WITH OPERATOR AT THE MOUTH OF BROWNS CREEK AND MADE SURE HE WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE AND DOCUMENTED THE DAMAGE TO VESSEL . I FOLLOWED THIS UP WITH AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MANAGER AT JARRET BAY ABOUT THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE. THE MANAGER NOTED THAT OPERATOR HAD COME BY TO HIS SHOP TO ENSURE THE DOCK AND LIFT WOULD BE FIXED.
