RedactedNarrative: On August 29th approximately 10:07 P.M. Conversation Officers received a call from Park Ranger that there has been a boat accident at Cherry Glen boat ramp.
  Conversation Officers then went to Cherry Glen Boat ramp and conducted an investigation. The investigation determined that there were three people in a cobalt boat registration 1960 AP -V1- that was traveling north bound from party cove heading towards the marina. The boat was being operated by OPERATOR 1 who struck the break water on the south side of the Cherry Glen break water. The striking of the rocks ejected passenger onto the rocks at the break water. PASSENGER 1 was rescued from the rocks by fire rescue and treated by first responders at the boat ramp and released at the boat ramp. The other passenger in the boat was the owner of the boat who was not injured and remained in the boat at the time of the incident. 
  OPERATOR 1 was tested for alcohol impairment and Conversation Officers determined the operator was not impaired and had no sign of alcohol consumption. After testing the operator Conversation Officers did a safety inspection on the vessel with the owner and determined the vessel was missing a type 4 throw able flotation device as required by law and the owner was issued a warning for no type 4 throw able flotation device.  Conversation Officers also observed damage to the hull on the starboard side of the boat below the water line that would exceed 2000 dollars and an operators report was taken along with statements of the incident from all occupants and the boat was towed from the cherry glen boat ramp to the marina by owner’s sister.
  Conversation Officers on 8-30-20 located and investigated the incident scene on the cherry glenn break water where the vessel had run ashore and observed fiberglass and pieces of the lower unit and lower unit oils on the break water rocks confirming there was more 2000 dollars damage to the vessel. Conversation Officers also observed a steep angle on the break water at the location of the incident consistent with how a passenger would be ejected onto the rocks.  Evidence at the scene was consistent with the statements of the boat running up onto the edge of the break water.
  None of the occupants were wearing life jackets.  Alcohol was not a factor.
  In conclusion of Conversation Officers’s investigation it was determined operator inattention at night and operation inexperience in this vessel was the contributing factors in this incident.
