Exclamation Size matters

especially when you have no common sense...
gets interesting about 20sec...even thought be ski technically is viewed as having the right of way on a collision course

The jet ski would be 100% in the wrong according to the steering and sailing rules. Stupid as stupid does

Enough jet skis have turned in front of me that I just assume they are all going to do it. They seem to think that they are the fastest vessel on the Water and therefore can turn in front of everything.

I had a Guy do that exact thing to me this year except I avoided him. He had a kid on the back too. I ended up cracking my vent because I hit a cruiser wake wrong trying to avoid him. I was beyond pissed off. He just drove off dont think he even realized how close to an accident we almost had.

The only thing worse than a jet ski is someone on a rental jet ski. I avoid a chunk of water here due to them. Ed
