RedactedNarrative: On May 26, 2019 at 20:09 hours, I was contacted via phone by Conservation Officer. He advised he was contacted about a non-injury boating accident at Beaver Creek Marina. I informed him that myself and Sgt. were closer, so we would respond. Before heading that way, I made contact with one of the vessel owners who had called in the complaint. Subject1 advised he and his brother received damage to their vessels while docked at the marina. I informed him once the weather front cleared out, Sgt. and I would be heading in his direction.
  
  Subjects informed us that a houseboat named “Short Circuit” was idling into the harbor trying to get to his slip on Dock I at the same time a storm front had moved in. They advised the wind gust had forced Operator1’s houseboat over in their direction. They all attempted to push on the houseboat to keep it from hitting their personal property, however, the boat was too large and the wind was to strong.
  
  Operator1’s houseboat ended up hitting runabout (KY-0506-XA) first. V2 owner stated the bow of Operator1’s boat drug across the stern of his vessel which scratched the fiberglass and then hit his swim ladder bending the framing that secures it to the vessel. V2 owner stated Operator1 then backed his vessel up, but the wind was still strong so it kept forcing the houseboat in the direction of Subject1’s houseboat (Gas Money). 
  
  They confirmed his vessel was struck first and the one they were on was struck last. They stated after backing off of V2 owner’s boat, Operator1’s boat then collided with Subject1’s boat which knocked the slide off causing it to sink in the lake. The slide was bolted to aluminum railing which was attached at the upper deck and lower deck. The force from the collision broke the aluminum brackets off the rails at the welds. Subject1 couldn’t advise of any other damage except for the slide.
  
  The next day, I made contact via phone with Operator1. His statement matched what the other witnesses had said. He stated due to the storms strong winds, he could not maintain control of the houseboat. He stated he had good insurance and he left his contact information. He did not know the accident needed to be reported nor did he inform me of any more damage that needed to be recorded.
