The casual observer from shore would have seen you jumping wakes, running side by side at high speed, navagating the left side of the river at high speed, and it would have reminded him of the a****** that cut him off, tailgated him, and swerved from lane to lane on the highway today. So, next time he see's me in my offshore boat I am that same a****** even if i am just going with the flow. If two blowboats collide and a person is injured or killed its just an unfortunate incident, but, if a high performance offshore boat is invloved in the same incident, not only is it major headlines on the news, but, its' that same a****** we saw the other day.

The key word is OFFSHORE! You were running 70MPH in an offshore boat on a very narrow river. ON THE LEFT SIDE! How you can possibly justify this as safe is beyond me. This is why I will never boat on the Chain again. Absolute lunacy!

Remind me never to post a video of me having a good time in my boat. I'm sure when he was on the Left side of the river he could see far enough up the river to get out of the way of oncoming traffic...give the guy an ounce of credit. Like he clearly said it was fricken cold out and there was Nobody else out that day. It made for a good day to shoot some video.

That is actually very safe on that river. You wouldn't believe it when it crowded!

Looks fun, but damn.... trim it down a bit. That bouncing is making my neck sore.
