  On 08/15/2021, at about 07:30 a.m., these two vessels were cruising in Puget Sound just west of Edmonds Marina, located near Edmonds, WA in Snohomish county. 
  
  According to the Operator of V1, V1 Operator, he was traveling from Richmond Beach to the Port of Everett.  The water was calm, and it was very foggy.  He was running about 18 MPH heading north.  As he was approaching the Edmonds area, a boat (V2) cut in front of him coming out of Port of Edmonds so close they collided.
  
  The Operator of V2 reported that he had left Edmonds Marina in thick fog and proceeded north.  He heard the ferry horn warning as it was in close in proximity.  He slowly approached the terminal area and spotted the ferry.  He cautiously maneuvered around it to seaward as it was docking.
  
  He asked all on board to keep a sharp eye out for other boat traffic and steered back towards shore, as they were going to drop crab pots north of the dive park area north of the terminal.  It was then that one of the occupants hollered “that boat is going to hit us!” and BAM!  This was the only occupant sitting facing aft and the only one to see the boat (V1) approach from the port beam at high speed.  
  
  V1 hit bow in, through the port side window of V2, shattering it and just missing one of the other occupants sitting in the impact area.
