RedactedNarrative: Subject stated that on July 19th he rented a vessel.  He stated she and two juveniles departed the livery and headed towards Shell Key.  Later in the day he noticed thunderstorms approaching the area so he attempted to notify Operator by cellphone.  Subject said that she did not answer her telephone.  Shortly after attempting to notify Operator he was notifed by Operator that while enroute back to the livery she had to take action to get the two juveniles on to dry land because of the severity of the storm.  Subject was told by Operator that the vessel became stuck underneath the dock after exiting the passengers off of the vessel causing damage to the motor and fiberglass of the vessel.  Subject was able to get the vessel back to the livery without swamping or sinking of the vessel.  At that time Subject and Operator then began to discuss damage to the vessel.
  
  I spoke to Operator by telephone.  She and the occupants of the vessel had already gone back to their home state of Michigan.  Operator's statement was very similar to Subject's statement.  Operator stated that she left Shell Key too late and that they became stuck in the storm.  She stated she made a decision to get the juveniles off of the vessel because she could not see where she was going.  She stated she found the nearest dock and got her occupants off of the vessel and onto land safely. Operator stated nobody was home at the residence so she contacted the neighbor.  She stated that Subject never attempted to notify her of the storm.  Once on land, Operator stated that she notified St. Petersburg Police Department that she was involved in a vessel accident but was told that it was a civil matter.
  
  I spoke to Operator numerous times by e-mail and requested that she fill and send back a written statement.  Operator never got back to me after my third attempt and therefore I was unable to get further details on the accident.
