RedactedNarrative: Jet ski vs flats boat.  Jet skier was playing in boat wake next to flats boat. He did not see the flats boat and turned sharply in front of the path of the flats boat.  Operator of the flats boat did not have enough room or time to avoid collision.
  I noticed a group of three flats boats transiting in a line towards me in the channel on the bay side of Tea Table Relief. In between the vessels and Tea Table Relief were a group of jet skiers transiting alongside the vessels in the same direction.  The jet skis appeared to be jumping and playing the wake of the first two vessels.  I noticed a bright yellow jet ski (later identified as FL1384RP) swerving in and out of the boat wakes, spraying the third flats boat (later identified as FL2410NM) in line in the process.  It appeared to get dangerously close to the flats boat when the operator splashed them.  
  
  Moments after, the bright yellow jet ski turned sharply to the right, right into the path of the third flats boat.  The flats boat turned sharply to the right and slowed to a stop in an effort to avoid the jet ski, but could not avoid collision.  Because the flats boat was in the process of turning sharply to the right, the underside of the flats boat collided with the right side of operator and the back seat of the jet ski.  The jet ski operator was ejected off of the ski and into the water.  This happened within 200 yards of my location, so I saw the accident clearly.  I quickly called Officer back onto our vessel and arrived on scene within minutes; 
  Jet skier was treated for two fractured ribs.
