Through interviews and investigation, warden determined that on 07-13-2023 at approximately 09:00 am, o1 was operating the weed harvester in the bay marine marina. She was negotiating a turn and reversing out of the marina next to a floating dock with a dinghy on it. At some point during this process, the stern of the dinghy was pushed to port and it is believed damage was sustained to the rubber coating on the bottom of the hull. The damage is consistent with being pushed by the wash put off by the paddle wheels on the weed harvester. Security video footage of the incident is available but the harvester obstructs the view of the dinghy. Both stated there was never physical contact between the harvester and the dinghy or the floating dock. Per state law, boaters are responsible for their boat's wash and wake.
