: Hi folks..

: Just thought I'd let you all know that I'm taking a little break from the
: hum-drum building of kayaks and a friend of mine and I are trying out a
: new Jet-Ski. It's the latest design and something I've always wanted to
: give a whirl.

: This thing's got tons of horsepower and unbelievable take off.
: Unfortunately, I've seen it in action once and it leaves a tremendous wake in
: it's trail. :(

: I do know that it's much safer than the normal ski's as it's much safer for
: plant and aquatic life. None of the usual oil residue and fuel. This thing
: Burns completely, every ounce that burns through it's veins. Trust me!!

: Since I'll be doing it here in the next few weeks, and the weather is a bit
: cool here now, I doubt I'll be interfering with any kayakers or canoers.

: I guarantee they'll hardly see me around at all.
: Hmmmmmmmm!! The noise level may be a bit high, but with so few folks on the
: lakes now, It may not be a problem at all.

: I hear this thing is not to be taken lightly and can get a bit rough for the
: in-experienced, so I'm going to take it a bit easier at first. No AB on
: the first couple of runs.

: Oh, and I understand it's got it's own heating system so the skier won't have
: to worry about getting cold..... for hours.

: I know some of you are somewhat less than enthusiastic about jet-skiing/ers,
: but I just have to try this once.... Getting too old to do most things,
: but it's something I just HAVE to try. And why not be one of the first on
: my block, or in the world for that matter.

: Wish me Luck, and I'll give you all the run down in the near future.
: It's a new California "Happening!!!"

: >

LMAO! You California guys are always trying to out-do the rest of the world. What will you think of next? Where do I sign up to try out this new fangled jetski and I want to have a trip report when you get back. ;)
