The Jetski industry is at the same point now that the snowmobile industry was at 20 years ago. They were forced by public opinion at the time to clean up their act, and did so for the most part without excessive regulation. The snowmobile industry is now one of the most respected power recreation groups in North America. Like snowmobiles then, jetskis are a new toy and attract the wreckless. You will probably see this group start to police itself within the next couple years. They will have to if they want to survive. Mike -- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
