In the afternoons, you'd see all the performance boaters, many looking and sounding just like these "race boats", racing each other from Braun Bay across the lake to get the best docks at the Naswa for an afternoon of boozing before getting back behind the helm. (oh ya, drinking authorizes them to go fast  ) Sorry if the tone of this response unintentionally offends. |
I am sorry if this unintentionally offends, but did you happen to get the part about the article you posted that the accident occurred in a RACE. You know, an actual RACE where RACERS RACE their fast boats. A sanctioned race. You know, a race with a start/finish line, officials, safety boats etc et. Nice try on the spin though.
Sorry if this unintentionally offends. There...I feel better saying that.
