I learnt lastnight there was infact an axcident on one of our highways Sunday afternoon. Driver apparently "lost control" of his truck and crashed towing a 35' fountain ! Driver was air lifter to hospital, and passenger was also hurt. Thats all I know now. There was a little write up in yesterdays paper. I'll see if I can find it and scan it.

The information I got goes as follows;

Gentelmen's name is Stephane Boudrais from Montreal. He lost control while towing his Silver and Blue Fountain and crashed. He was Med-Evaqued and is now unfortunately on life support.

I just spoke with a friend of stephane. He was busy with a customer, but he said it was his son (Jonathan) driving. I don't know if Stephane was or was not in the truck... He's now in hospital in ottawa. Not exactly on life support but on a provoqued coma, to let his brain rest a little bit (that I was told) I asked what happened exactly, if the trailer came off the truck or whatever, and he said he would tell me the long story once he was done with his customer... That is where it stands now...

Yes, sorry that did not work out to get together Dennis. My crew just had a different adgenda if you know what I mean. I am going to try and get back in a bit quieter setting if you know what I mean. LOL

Your Skater looks great.

Going to Ft Lauderdale next week to test Baia and Pershing. Will let you know how that goes.

Bob

So sorry to hear about this Jeff. If you or anyone else knows more of his condition we would appreciate any updates. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and we see him back on the water soon.
