RedactedNarrative: V-2 was traveling in a wheel ditch. V-2 slowed for kaykers in the narrow cut. V-1 did not see V-2 slow until till late and struck the backside port corner and engine cowling.
  
   in the area that is locally known as "Robbie's Wheel Ditch" this is a narrow canal/cut that runs parallel to US 1 and it is on the bayside of MM 77. It sits about 3/4 of a mile from US1. This area is a very narrow mangrove cut that has a blind corner in the center of the cut. It is not a slow speed zone, although it is marked by many signs stating the area is narrow. This area is frequented by kayakers, paddleboarders and also boat and PWC traffic.
  
  The operator of V-2 stated verbally and also via a written statement what had transpired. He stated to me that he was traveling in the area and slowed down for some kayakers that were in front of him. The next thing he knew his wife had turned around and stated that a PWC was coming right for them. The PWC struck the port side stern quarter of the vessel and also the engine cowling. Vessel 1 was traveling at an approximate speed of between 10 to 20 mph at the time of the impact with vessel 2.
  The operator of vessel 1 stated that he was operating the PWC and did not realize that the vessel in front of him had slowed down. By the time that he did and he let off the throttle it was too late. He crashed into the back of vessel 2.
