SAFE BOATING WEEK KICK-OFF LAKE OF THE OZARKS
We didn't start out to well this year - - we nearly made it through the first evening of SAFE BOATING WEEK until shortly after 11:00 p.m. when a two (2) boat collision (see MHP incident report) took place near the 3.5 mile mark which resulted in minor injuries to 2 persons and moderate injury to one boat operator. Two persons in Boat#1 were thrown in to the water (without PFD's) but were able to re-board. The 2nd boat's passengers were not injured, but vessel sustained major damage to the port bow. The 1st boat sustained a broken windshield, gel coat damage and was inoperable.
Around the same time we also picked up our first BUI tow for the season - - Vessel operator was arrested near the 33 mile mark for a BUI and the boat with several passengers was towed to the 54 mile mark and moored at its dock around 02:30 Sunday morning (The 2nd Day of Safe boating Week)?? This is not exactly the trend we should be taking this week - - - - -
