RedactedNarrative: 30 foot Vessel underway striking anchored vessel offshore. 
  
  Operator1, the Registered Owner (RO), stated that they were at anchor at the Elbow preparing to fish. At approximately 1030 hours, a 30 foot vessel was plowing, bow up, and ran into their starboard side. Operator1 stated that the vessel was going approximately 10 miles per hour. He stated the vessel hit on the starboard bow quarter, rode up the on top of the t-top, and slid to the starboard stern quarter, ultimately breaking contact with the struck vessel. 
  
  Operator1 stated that when the vessel settled, the operator did not say anything, and promptly left the scene. Due to rough conditions and scheduling conflicts with the reporting parties, I boarded their vessel on scene and took photographs of the damage to the best of my abilities. Operator1 was able to record the registration number of the striking vessel (FL 6877 RM). 
  
  Upon investigation, I discovered the RO of the striking vessel. 
  
  I visited the Monroe County address on May 10th, 2019 at approximately 1000 hours. I made contact with an individual in the yard. He stated that he owned the vessel bearing registration FL 6877 RM and that he was operating at the time of the collision. He stated that he just did not see the other vessel, and he apologized profusely. I informed him of the multiple violations that had occurred, and educated him on his responsibility to report a boating accident.
