The head on video was more fun to watch. They were close enough to trade spit.


I'm beginning to see why many boaters do some of the weird stuff out on the water they do. They took the boater's course
Steve, take into consideration that the video host clearly states a verbal caveat that 'the scenes were exaggerated for the video' or words to that effect. Also consider the videographer's challenge that for the sake of clarity of viewing on a wide variety of displays, from portable TVs to wide screens that you just can't 'legally' fit all that action in except possibly with a very wide angle lens. It is kinda thrilling to watch that head-on though.

Is the BBQ hot yet? I'm hungry.
