RedactedNarrative: On July 4th, 2020, at approximately 1030, two vessels were involved in a collision at the Blackwater Sound entrance to Marvin D. Adams Waterway.
  
  According to interviews and witness statements, at approximately 1030, July 4, 2020, owner/operator of the Sea Hunt with eight people on board (POB), four adults, and four children, was returning from watching fireworks from their vessel and were traveling south in Blackwater Sound towards Marvin D. Adams Waterway.
  
   Owner/operator of the Pro Sport, with six POB, two adults, and four children, were on their vessel traveling at idle speed on a canal southwest of the entrance to the Marvin D. Adams Waterway. 
  
  As Operator2 approached to within eighty to hundred yards of the entrance to the waterway, he began to reduce speed off plane. At this time, he noticed warnings from family members and the sound of rippling water and saw the Pro Sport approach and make contact with his port-side. 
  
  Operator1 explained that he saw the Sea Hunt at approximately twenty to thirty yards away and managed to put the throttle in reverse in an attempt to avoid the collision, yet despite this, the anchor at the bow of the Pro Sport made contact with the Sea Hunt and left a track of damage along the portside, while the Pro Sport received damage to the bow anchor and anchor mount. 
  
  After the initial contact, the Sea Hunt’s momentum carried it towards the waterway canal, while the Pro Sport veered to the portside and away from the other vessel. Both parties ensured there were no injuries, to which none were reported, exchanged information and left the area.
