RedactedNarrative: On 8/17/14 at 2225hrs, I Corporal met with Operator at Tomes Marina in Port Deposit, MD in reference him striking a buoy with his boat on the Susquehanna River near Havre de Grace, MD. 
  
  Operator stated that he and his wife were coming back from a day of boating when he struck the green 13 buoy on the Susquehanna River while heading back to Tomes Marina. Operator stated that he was cruising approximately 20 miles per hour when he struck the buoy with the bow of his boat causing damage to the bow. The force of hitting the buoy also caused a hatch handle on the port side of the boat to break. Operator stated that neither he nor his wife were injured. 
  
  Operator stated that as he cruised, he attempted to keep the bow up for cruising and was unable to see the buoy causing the impact. Operator stated that he would contact me at a later date with the damage estimate.
