Operator #1 Stated in Effect:  I was attempting to back into that dock slip and I blew into the vessel in the next slip, striking it in the rear.

Operator #2 Stated in Effect: I was docked in this slip and that vessel struck the rear portside of my vessel while the operator attempted to dock in the slip next to me.
