Scary, isn't it?
I sometimes find the PWC's annoying and inconsiderate as hell, but I
don't think I've ever been "endangered" by one. There have been more
than a few times when I've had the crap scared out of me by another
boater.

My good friend Jim who works Mississippi river barges, calls PWC's
'gnats'. He tells stories of gnats riding the towboat's wake, riding
dangerously close to the side of barges -- AND crossing in front of
the tow!!! These gnats are endangering themselves!!!

Must be those darn beer commercials about "Living life to the fullest
-- go for it!!." Go figgure.
