Imagine something the size of a large inverted soup bowl with tentacles about 3 feet long that wrap around you and set you on fire everywhere they touch you. ... That sort of thing. It certainly changes the way you water ski. You learn how to sit on the gunnel of one boat, while the pull boat yanks you off. Then you are real careful not to fall no matter what. To stop you either coast up on the beach or ski up next to the other boat and roll in. That was a $35 fine the last time I did it *;-) Several years ago, my sister was with friends in either Jamaica or some place in the Bahams and she was stung by a jelly fish of some sorts. I believe it may have been a man-o-war. She was almost hospitalized over it. Hard reaction and bad swelling in her ankle. |
