Default Bat-Boat 2 - Wild Life Nothing!!

Friday during practice Neil and I had a pretty big seagull fly right into our canopy. It looked like the scenes from Finding Nemo were the Seagull fly into the Dentist office window.

Needless to say he did not fair well in the collision.

So this year the Bat-Boat has claimed
1 - Deer
1 – Seagull
And we still have another race left!

It happened to me one time when I was on my jet boat at full throttle when I saw a few ducks swimming in the water and they didnt notice until we got too close...I said "oh sh$t" all ducks flew except one when he flew up between my face and my top canvas! Unbelievable, isnt it???

That was quite close! Damn ducks, LOL

A buddy of mine came up onto a gull that just happened to be at the bottom of a huge swell out on Lake MI when we were jetskiing during a small craft advisory.......needless to say there was nothing left of the guy when it passed though the jet pump!!! Tomato soup anyone!
