Operator #1 stated that he was just coming out of the bay into Lower Lake South on Lake Minnetonka when he saw another watercraft (WC #2) approaching on his left-hand side going in the same direction. When he saw him, it was too late to steer out of the way and they bumped into each other going approximately 20 MPH. The Deputy talked to Operator #2 by phone. Operator #2 had a similar recollection of the events as Operator #1. Op #2 stated he was heading eastbound in Lower Lake South when he noticed WC #1 on his right-hand side but was unable to steer to avoid collision in time. Life jackets were not being worn in either boat and alcohol was not a factor. There were no injuries. There was damage to both watercraft.
