Think i am going to take a pass.

Saw that article in today's New York Times. I went to one in Crisfield MD ... let me tell you, it's a thrill! Like a rodeo on the water, but with fewer broken ribs.

Would have been nice if they had some video.

Yep, I’ve seen it a couple times in Rock hall, MD. Lots of fun!

Could you imagine being at a marina where these guys practice? That would be fun.

LaRea · September 16

Practice, what practice?!? That's how they dock 350 days a year ... after all, they are Maryland drivers! (With apologies to our forum members from the great state of Maryland ...)

But seriously, see it in person if you ever get a chance. Some of the captains have more bravery than skill. The truly good ones will take your breath away.

Found some videos on Youtube crazy stuff.

Sunday NYT carried the story - cringeworthy headline. “We crash all the time”.

Howdy, Stranger!
