That's child play. Try it around 11 pm on the Detroit River after the 4 of July fireworks. Exactly like that but dark and many drunks.

Looks like every weekend in the great south bay. The only difference is that those are the size of the boats being towed behind mother boat. I'm usually being screamed at by my wife as I'm flying through that stuff.

Being on the Detroit River after the Fireworks, is just plan crazy. I can't believe that someone hasn't been killed. No thanks I'll watch from shore.

looks photo-shoped to me, but then I am in a particularly cynical mood

But I don't see any collisions, they are going slow enough to be under control. Now, throw a Nor-Tech in there or a large cruiser wake and all hell would break loose!

OK, is that photo shopped? Too dang lazy to really look at it all that well! LOL!
