RedactedNarrative: On 2/6/2015 around 1200hrs, I Ofc. was on patrol, when I received a call from our dispatch center in reference to a boating accident that had occurred in the vicinity of Indian Creek Bridge. According to dispatch it was a single Vessel (V1  later identified as vessel name: STAR with hailing port Georgetown, Cayman Islands) accident that had hit the fender system of Indian Creek Bridge in Miami Beach. Upon arrival on scene I contacted the bridge tender, who advised that there was damage to the North-East side of the fender system. He also described the vessel as a large yacht that was blue in color. I observed the damage and proceeded to locate V1.
  
  I located V1 at a dock that was set up for the International Boat Show and contacted the operator. According to Operator1, he was on his way to the Boat Show. As he approached the Indian Creek Bridge, he waited for the bridge opening. Operator1 said that while he was going underneath the bridge, strong winds caused his vessel to drift towards the North East side and he contacted the fender system, causing damage to his vessel ( 20 Ft. scratch on the main ship port side) and the fender. He also stated that due to heavy boat traffic caused by the boat show and strong winds he was unable to remain at the scene. 
  
  Operator1 was issued a Uniform Boating Citation for careless operation. At the time of completion of this report, I was unable to determine a monetary damage to the fender system.
