So apparently, gas isn't an issue to boaters..

The high price of gas IS a good thing. (Just kidding ... but I was almost knocked off the boat while we were putting up the rigging when a jet ski zoomed by obviously piloted by someone who couldn't read the "No Wake. 5 KPH" sign he had just flown past) I hate that stuff when I see fellow pwc'ers or any other fellow powerboaters do it. Hopefully that person had his incorrect behavior pointed out to him by a sympathetic soul. I would have done stuff like that on my first season out on a jetski, back about a decade ago, I didn't know anything at first about boating and proper behavior on the water, but the more experienced guys I was riding with set me straight pretty quickly and I learned about no-wake zones (also from getting a ticket or two), wide berths, slowing down around other boaters, fishermen, marinas, etc; and in the eight years since, well obviously I've known what to do. That's another reason why I'm very glad that New York State and others now require basic boating safety education in order to legally ride a pwc now (they didn't back then) and think the same should apply to all power boaters. richforman richforman And of course, the price of gas isn't an issue for sailors. We may spend $60 on gas this summer instead of $30 like last summer. |
