Once they cleared the bridge, the lead boat encountered the wake of a large vessel, went airborne, and ejected the passenger, whom was then run over by the following boat. He lost his arm to a prop. USCG to the rescue with a chopper and boat. And, all of it un-necessary. Now, who should pay the bill on that one? The boater, the tournament, or you and I? Capt. Frank Hey, we've got a new contributor to this newsgroup who took his 16' Bayliner out into 8' waves on Lake Erie because he didn't want to be late to a party his girlfriend was having. Stupidity isn't limited to your part of the waterways. |
