What: Boating Accident
Where: Hollywood FL, 33019
When: 11/01/2023 at approximately 1745 hours
	On November 2, 2023, at approximately 1110 hours Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), was on patrol in a marked patrol vehicle when I arrived on scene to a boating accident that occurred on November 1, 2023, at approximately 1745 hours. The accident involved a vessel displaying Florida registration. The owner of the vessel was identified by driver’s license.
	OWNER 1’s vessel was moored at the dock. OWNER 1’s vessel was facing north when a vessel traveling north on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) created enough wake to cause OWNER 1’s vessel to make contact with a dock piling. The point of contact was on the starboard side towards the bow of OWNER 1’s vessel. The contact caused OWNER 1’s side rail to be damaged (See photos). The vessel that caused the wake and damage to OWNER 1’s vessel is unable to be identified. After examination of the incident, I determined the damage to OWNER 1’s vessel to be over $2,000. I took multiple photos of the damage and left the scene without further incident.
