RedactedNarrative: On 4/12/18, two vessels were involved in a collision in the Tampa Bay, on the south side of the Gandy Blvd bridge.
  
  Operator2 was heading east bound and Operator1 was heading west bound, the two vessels made contact just east of the marked channel under the hump of the Gandy bridge.
  
  There were no injuries, minimal damage to Operator2s vessel, and extensive damage done to Operator1s vessel.
  
  While Operator1’s vessel was visible to Operator2, his port navigational light may have not worked before the collision. Operator1 will be receiving a uniform boating citation for navigational lights that were not operational FSS 327.50(2)
  
  ·	Due to Operator2 not being present at the scene, I was not able to detect whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the collision.
  
  ·	As Operator2 stated to me, he stayed his course during the head-on situation which resulted in a collision. Operator2 will be receiving a uniform boating citation for a violation of navigational rules resulting in an accident (first offense) FSS 327.33(3)
