Actually it is on Lake Michigan and the boat is being taken to Florida to be repaired so that is a ridiculous statement.


Just here to help...

Glad to hear you weren't injured......

It seems like there is a lot of uncertainty as to what happened. If that is the case...the first step is to find out the facts, then worry about repairs, etc.....

Most importantly, there were no injuries...... everything else is minor by comparison.

See you guys soon.

Something like this quickly puts all of the bs aside. Health and safety are the most important things.

Next step is to find out exactly what happened and try to prevent it from ever happening again.

Just added a fairly large photo, courtesy of Marc Granet, of the damage to the story, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-at-water.html.

Intense.

Look forward to many more!!!! Hammer

There's always a cheerleader in every crowd...


Marc and Scotty glad you guys are both ok. I hate to think about how this could have ended had the speeds been higher. Another example of just how rough Lake Michigan can be. Dont know what it is but she can be a real biotch sometimes...
