Default Fatal oklahoma boat crash....

I've ridden with Gordon many times, I don't think it was a drinking
issue. The boats were boat going the same direction when Gordon's boat
made a sudden turn into the other boat. It looks like something broke
in the steering system.


The assumption that there was drinking involved is one of
those knee-jerk things.

Guys who drive boats at 70mph feel the need to drink alcohol
while they do so.

Guys who drive 120mph+ feel the need to keep their heads
clear & reflexes sharp. Plus anybody who spends the kind of
time tuning up a boat like that must take it pretty seriously.
