RedactedNarrative: V-1 was northbound in the channel when V-2 (a rental PWC)  traveling east collided with the port side during an off throttle steering incident.  There were no injuries.
  Upon interviewing the operators, the following facts were revealed:
  V1 was heading north in the channel in the idle speed zone going with enough throttle to maintain steerage and head way against the outgoing tidal current. 
  Operator saw V2 approaching at the last second and attempted to steer to starboard.
  
  V2 was headed back towards the livery when he realized he was on a collision course with V1.
  Operator of V2 attempted to steer to starboard but had let go of the throttle.
  As he continued approaching V1 with the tidal current, he remembered the throttle.
  The rapid acceleration drove V2's bow into V1's gunwale.
  
  Operator V2 issued a warning for failure to take action to avoid collision.
