On August 22, 2023, I, Officer, and Corporal of the Maryland Naturel Resources Police, while on patrol in Calvert County, MD, received a call for a boat accident down in Solomon's Island harbor at the Solomon's Island Yachting Center. 

Upon arrival, I met with the owner of the striking vessel (boat 1). He stated that while his vessel, the Serendipity, a 38.2 ft cabin cruiser, was attempting to return to the slip, a strong wind gust pushed it into the second vessel (boat 2), the RHP Recess, a 42 ft post. 

During this vessel collision, both vessels received damage. The Serendipity sustained damage in the rear port quarter on the main structure, causing the hard plastic "upper cabin body" to break apart and crack, as well as a bend/dent in the railing leading from the main gunnel deck to the upper cabin. The damage sustained to Boat 2 can be seen at the bow pulpit/anchor windless area, resulting in hull damage to the fiberglass structure holding the pulpit and anchor windless up. 

I was able to make contact with Boat 2, the RHP Recess owner by phone. Subject1 informed me that he had sent a representative to meet with me to discuss further damage to his vessel. Subject2 has been working for Subject1 for around six months on his vessel as a mechanic/handyman/deckhand. After Subject2 looked at the damage to the vessel, he provided me with some specific information about the vessel's overall state after the collision. Based on Subject2's training and work experience, he estimated more than 2,500 dollars in damages to the RHP Recess. 

No injuries were observed/expressed, resulting in property damage to vessels greater than 2,000 dollars. 
Business cards were presented to all involved parties with incident/report numbers attached. 

All events occurred in Calvert County, MD.
