  On Thursday April 28th at approximately 1530 hours Southbound vessel (FL7835NH) was travelling in the ICW approximately a half mile North of Palm's Cove Marina when a large wake from the careless operation of an unidentified vessel caused injury to occupant. 
  
  Subject stated that a 55-60 foot beige colored yacht was travelling North from Palm's Cove Marina at a speed of approximately 35-40 knots. Due to the narrow waterway and low tide, Subject could not perform an evasive maneuver. Subject stated is vessel was maintaining a speed of approximately 15 knots. After the yacht passed, Subject stated a 4 foot wake overtook his vessel at approximately a 45 degree angle and sent both him and Victim in the air. Subject recovered from the jolt. Victim, located in the cabin, struck her face against some furniture and was in immediate pain. 
  
  Subject continued his voyage South to St. Augustine where the couple planned to spend the weekend. Subject stated that Victim had trouble getting up and walking around and could not walk up the stairs onto the deck of the boat. On Friday morning, Subject decided to cut their weekend short and return home. Once home, Victim sought medical attention to discover she had a fractured knee cap, and suffered several contusions to include her face, ankles, chest, arms, and buttocks. 
  
  Subject was unable to provide any identifying properties of the larger vessel other than the vague description he provided. Subject reported no damage to his vessel or equipment on board.
