The operator of Vessel 1 was traveling from Alton Bay and utilizing GPS on his phone to determine his route. He was not zoomed in closely on the route and traveled in between Barndoor Island and Little Barndoor Island as opposed to around them as shown on the GPS route. As a result he struck a rock; despite traveling at relatively low speed (approximately 6 MPH), one of the passengers was thrown forward from her seat upon impact. She struck her face against the bench seat in front of her and sustained cuts and bruising around her left eye. Marine Patrol and a local fire department were called to the scene; Wolfeboro Fire transported the victim to shore, after which she went to the hospital for imaging and treatment. Vessel 1 sustained some damage to the pontoon and was driven back to shore by a marina employee.
