RedactedNarrative: Operator # 1 stated to the effect: I was operating south bound in the Barnaget Bay in the area of B2 Bistro Restaurant in Berkley Township. The water was extremely rough, so I turned around and attempted to find a safe spot to dock. I approached the bulkhead of the restaurant and the safety lanyard came out and the boat lost power and it started smashing the bulkhead. I got my daughter off the boat and then myself.
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed: V#l was being operated in the area of B2 Bistro, when the vessel lost power and began to strike the bulkhead causing damage to the starboard side of the boat. Both the operator and the occupant safely exited the vessel. As a result of the rough water the vessel continuously struck the bulkhead causing major damage until it was pulled off the bulkhead. No injuries were reported. No damage to the bulkhead was observed. The vessel was removed from the scene by Sea Tow to Good Luck Point Marina.
