Another jet ski accident in Tampa Bay yesterday afternoon. Two guys riding together, one in front of the other, does a 180 in front of his buddy and his buddy slams into him. Don't know the condition of the guy who got hurt.

there's two things I stressed constantly on my x-GF about the Sea-Doo...

there's lots of water, you don't need to be close to any other craft at speed...
and make looking around you and behind you a constant, automatic part of riding.

She did very well.

I hope to hell I never have to worry about you working on my boat
Really something good to brag about! NOT
Humm, lets have a few drinks while test driving a boat I do not own! WTF!

Gee, wonder why boaters get such a bad rap. Not to mention boating service typically SUCKS. This is just a fine example WHY!
Sorry, but if you read into this what it is great, but when I pay for something, the last thing I should be concerned about is some drunk testing it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that I think JCPerf was joking. I've never read a post of his that would indicate otherwise.....

Same day a teenage boy on a tube got a pierced in the neck by a driftwood stick. Ambulance from the dock to hospital. Joe Murray
