I GW, at 0739 on 5/29/31, was notified of a vessel striking the north side jetties in the Cumberland Sound by Camden County Sheriff Deputy. I arrived at 0800 at the Crooked River Boat House and launched the Edge Water. Then proceeded to the incident location arriving at approximately 0830. Nassau County Sheriff Office and the Camden County Sheriff Office vessels were on scene already. I spoke with the owner and operator of the vessel. He stated to me that he had left Fernandina Beach Marina and headed north. He stated that he struck the jetties because of sun in his eyes and that the boat came to a slow stop. Water was coming aboard the vessel and the bilge pumps couldn't keep up with the flow of water. He had to bail water to allow the pumps to keep up with the leak. Tow Boat USA arrived at 0845 and installed another pump to help keep the vessel afloat and towed the boat to Tiger Point Marina in Fernandina Beach FL. No injuries were sustained  by the Operator or passenger.
