Crazy how it targeted the police boat, looks like it killed the outboard.

Holy Crap! Can't fix stupid.

Under age drinking also it seems.

She was pretty cool right up to the sudden turn. Be a hefty insurance claim for 2 boats, the dock, lift, hospital bills....let alone the lawsuit from her ex-friend Stubs. Mom and dad sure are proud today too, retirement plans shot!

Tough weekend. I bet the Zodiac was zippin around. You don't just fall out and get propped. Just sayin.

And just last night we were watching from the deck docked at the boat club 2 clowns on PWC's from the neighbor property doing their usual darting around, flirting the 100' rule but each enjoying "jetting" the other when he was in the water, one coming in, spinning and gunning at no more than a foot from the guy bobbing in the water. As my mum said "it's all fun till someone gets hurt". Sometime you wish something minor would happen as a warning shot.

Man. Some bad on the water news this week!  

On a SUP no pfd and cannot swim. That is just asking for it IMO.
