RedactedNarrative: On October 16, 2022, at approximately 2029, OP1 was operating a 24 foot, 2019 Boston Whaler Dauntless, herein referred to as "vessel 1" (V-1) northbound in the channel west of Johnson Island on plane.  OP1 was the only occupant of V-1.
  V-1 turned to starboard to pass red channel marker (#) at the north end of Johnson Island.  Operator of V-1 throttled down slightly and continued bearing in a north easterly direction in the channel. Operator of V-1 then leaned out from the behind the helm to the  port side to increase his visibility as he looked for the next green channel marker.  Operator of V-1 may have induced more steerage to the starboard side, leading the vessel outside of the channel.
  V-1 then collided with a small mangrove island located south east of the channel and became grounded.  Once V-1 came to rest, Operator then powered everything off and initiated a call to 911.
  Operator of V-1 was uninjured during collision.
