Vessels 2 and 3 were tied up and anchored near shore on Lake Decatur.  Vessel 1 had been anchored but broke loose and began drifting towards Vessels 2 and 3.  The operator of Vessel 1 started the motor but was not able to avoid colliding with Vessels 2 and 3.  Vessel 1 became entangled in Vessel 2''s anchor line pulling Vessels 2 and 3 together.  Damage was either caused from a direct collision from Vessles 1 and 2 or Vessles 2 and 3 being pulled together as a result of the anchor line being tangled.
