RedactedNarrative: On August 24, 2015 at approximately 10:30 P.M I, Officer along with Officer were on state water patrol near the Cortez Bridge in Manatee County when we received a call from United States Coast Guard in reference to a sailboat on fire at Marina Jacks in Sarasota County with two people on board screaming for help. 
  
  We arrived on scene at Marina Jacks at approximately 10:59 P.M to find that the fire had been put out by Sarasota Fire Rescue Marine Unit, and that the two people that were on board had been safely transported to shore. Upon talking to the two individuals, I learned that they had just paddled a smaller vessel out to the sailboat and Subject1 had tied the smaller vessel to the back starboard side of the sailboat and boarded the sailboat leaving Subject2 on the smaller vessel. Upon boarding the sailboat Subject1 had proceeded to start a small generator that was placed on the stern of the sailboat. Upon starting the generator, the generator exploded throwing Subject1 and the generator into the water and igniting the sailboat on fire. The explosion also forced Subject2 from the smaller vessel where she was sitting and into the water. Subject1 then proceeded to help Subject2 back into the smaller vessel before pulling himself up into the smaller vessel. Sarasota County Fire Rescue then arrived on scene and put out the burning sailboat while Subject1 and Subject2 proceeded back to shore. 
  
  Upon further investigation I found that Subject1 had failed to transfer the registration of the sailboat into his name within 30 days of the sale of the vessel therefore Subject1 was issued a warning for the violation.
