RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was operating a red in color, Kawasaki PWC with Georgia registration number GA 0222KC.  Operator1 said she and her sister, Operator2, were cruising and looking at the houses when Operator2 suddenly turned to the right.  Operator1 said she wasn’t moving fast but she tried to turn and avoid Operator2 but hit Operator2 in the knee with the front of her PWC.  Operator1 said they were between the Hwy 44 Bridge and Sebastian Cove on Lake Oconee.  She said they were closer to the bridge than the cove.  While interviewing Operator1 there was no indication of alcohol use.  (See attached written statement and video.)
  Next, I interviewed operator of Vessel 2, Operator2.  Operator2 said she turned and stopped to see where Operator1 was and Operator1 hit her right knee.  Operator2 was operating a yellow in color, SEADOO PWC with Georgia registration number GA 0886BL.  Operator2 sustained a one inch laceration on her right knee cap.  While interviewing Operator2 there was no indication of alcohol use.  (See attached written statement and video.)
  Next, RFC and I photographed the PWC’s.  White and red transfer marks were photographed on the starboard side of Vessel 2.  A black transfer mark was photographed on the hull/keel of Vessel 1.  (See photographs)
  Based on written statements and the evidence available, Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were traveling North when Vessel 2 turned right and decreased speed to locate Vessel 1.  Vessel 1 decreased speed and attempted to turn to avoid a collision but failed.  This resulted in Vessel 1 striking Vessel 2 on the starboard side.  
  In my opinion, due to the minor injury sustained by Operator2 and minimal vessel damage the vessels were not moving at a high rate of speed.  However, due to operator inexperience and operator inattention the collision was not avoided.
