How not to start your boat
Glad no one was hurt,

The captain was pushing the poor other dude out of the way. Hope they were insured. At least they had a blast.

Was the captain Greek? He sure was in a hurry to get off before the other guy. There's really no context to the video so you don't know if he just got gas, maybe just got it back from being serviced. I mentioned elsewhere that I always lift the hatch to look around, run the blower and after they start I look around again. That explosion shi! scares me a lot.

Well this is awkward.....I was thought the captain that abandoned the cruise ship Costa Concordia in 2012 was Greek and it turns out he was Italian. My apologizes to all Greeks and I suppose to the Italians too. I knew I should have gone with the George Costanza reference.

That blue bimini top is probably still in orbit.
Run your blowers and check the bilge before reaching for that key, folks!

WOW! Sounded like it was right at 14.7:1 on the bilge mixture.
